BERLIN (Reuters) - A wild boar was found taking a nap in the guest bedroom in a Bavarian family's house after fleeing from hunters, police said Monday.
"The sow panicked and was completely disoriented after being chased in the morning by hunters," a police spokesman said. "It ran into a village and broke through a cellar window into a house. It fell asleep on a bed in the guest room."
When the 60-kg (132 lb) boar woke up late Saturday afternoon after sleeping for a few hours, it started panicking again when it could not find its way out of the house. That's when the family noticed their uninvited visitor.
They called in a neighbor, also a hunter, who shot and killed the animal.

Euroweirdness.
Is it a boar or a sow or couldn't the reporter tell the difference?
If it's a boar, it can't be a sow!
It's either sausage or already bbq'd by now. we may never know. lol
Well - if you think so.
I have to forward this to my wife. She gets upset when the older of our Labs curls up on the bed in the guest bedroom in the afternoon sun. She doesn't know how bad it could get, though wild boars are admittedly rare in Annapolis.
