Elsa is the name given to the sow who was chased by a German nudist in Berlin, after she snatched his plastic bag containing a laptop.

The boars at Teufelssee - a lake in Berlin's leafy Grunewald district - "have lost their normal timidity" around humans, according to the local forestry office manager Katja Kammer.

Speaking to Berlin broadcaster rbb24, she said the sow should be "removed" because there were too many wild boars there, which could get aggressive and could spread disease to humans, including swine fever. Removal, she added, did not mean relocation, because that would require an area to be fenced off.

As many as 2,000 wild boars are shot in Berlin annually, and the hunting season starts in autumn.

I actually considered going to that one and in the end I didn't. Now I'm kicking myself. 25 Gs for one night in jail!
