A British History of: Wild Boar (4K Documentary) (CC)

Wild Boar have been living in this country for 700,000 years. Multiple times have they been driven to extinction. Today, they're back. But for how long? In this film, I take a look at the history of this native mammal. All the way back to the Anglo-Saxons, through to the Normans, the Middle Ages, the Tudors, the Stuarts, Georgian Britain, Thatcher's England, up to present day. We approach the topic from multiple viewpoints. Ecology, monarchy, sociology, agriculture, law, hunting, and morality.
