Wild Boar in San Diego Caught on My G1

Posted on Feb 12, 2009 by Michael Martin in gPhones | 13 Comments

Captured on my G1 Android Phone is a wild boar leashed and tied to the fence outside the Subway restaurant near the UTC mall in San Diego.

Apparently this boar is in the early stages of the Jared Subway diet.

I know this isn’t Android news but my feeling is I would be more worried of this pet baby boar than the Android browser security scare.

The flaw is in OpenCore, which is an open source media server, not in the browser. It would have to be exploited with a bogus MP3 sound file, and thats a big IF!

*** EXCELLENT article on explaining this “vulnerability”, with such tidbits as “why right now…Guess what happens on Monday, February 16th? — MWC – The mobile phone industry’s biggest annual event…Want some quick headlines, talk, and web hits?…Note also that one of the contributors to the article offers for sale Anti-virus products for Android devices. ***

The picture were from using the camera on my G1 phone and I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the pictures.

I know its San Diego California, but has anyone else seen a boar as a pet walked about using a leash?

    That Wild Boar is looking pretty tame to me.

    Yea it definitely was, so the “Wild Boar” seems like a misnomer, but what its called according to the owner.

    I would say its fairly young and domesticated since birth….just didn’t think you could or WOULD have them as a pet, nevermind walk them around the city in a leash.

    Damn! I want one of those!

    Wait, on second thoughts, the neighbors would probably steal it and eat it. :(

    Probably a pot-bellied pig, which are legal to own in many counties in the US.

    I’d rather know who that woman is who’s playing with the pig. She’s definitely no pig. ;-)

    It wasn’t mine and no idea where you could get one, as I didn’t think you COULD get one as a pet.

    I stand corrected.

    I was trying to determine what exactly it was along with researching online, but it being a pot bellied pig does seem to make more sense than a wild boar.

    Thank You!
