You can't choose your relatives, but you certainly can pick your friends.

Herd of Cows Adopts Young Wild Boar in France
In a touching example of the lion lying down with the lamb, a young wild boar has been adopted by a herd of cows in France.
.
For the past week, the young wild boar, who has been christened "Clovis," has been co-existing peacefully with a herd of cows in a field in the Breton district of Lohuec.
.
He appears to have been adopted by the herd, and lies happily down in the grass next to his bovine chums. Local farmer Richard Crassin has even been feeding Clovis along with the herd.

That's not quite right CJ - they're just suing him for child support.

Oy, I must have missed that part. Has the paternity test already been
made?

He's not denying involvement, just the monetary amount.

Oh that figures. First having all the fun and when it's pay-up time,
he'll skip town.

On the boar with the cows, is it a young male? (I guess I could reread it...).

In Tuscany, and no doubt other places I don't know about, they have Wild Boar crossing signs...

Is this unusual over there? In the Rockies, non-predatory wildlife routinely run with the cow herds. Safety in numbers, I suppose....
