More odd animal behaviour: Wild boar smashes into German hardware store

Animal ran full 'boar' into glass doors, breaking through and triggering alarm

Police in Germany came face-to-face with a wild boar after responding to a burglary alarm at a hardware store.

"The animal apparently ran at full speed against the entrance door of the large do-it-yourself shop and broke through two glass doors, which triggered the alarm," police spokesman Guido Rehr told NBC News.

Surveillance camera footage captured the animal wandering around the store's aisles.

It escaped "without any loot and apparently unharmed" once officials opened the front doors, police said.

Damages to the store in Dillenburg are estimated at $6,500.
