Danger in the municipality: There are wild boars in the middle of the towns

Jornal O Almeirinense10 September 2026 at 15:23

The presence of wild boars has been causing concern in some localities in the Almeirim municipal region, after several sightings of these animals have been recorded in areas near residential zones and road traffic. In the municipality of Almeirim, there are reports from several people who claim to have observed wild boars on the Old Paços road, between Almeirim and Fazendas de Almeirim.

The sightings are reported to have occurred at different times, increasing the attention of those who travel on that road, especially during nighttime hours. The presence of these animals in areas near the roads may represent a significant risk for drivers, as wild boars can suddenly cross the roadway.

The danger is even greater when it involves several animals in a group, which has been observed in these areas. The reports have generated apprehension among the local population, at a time when sightings of wild boars have also been reported in other localities in the region, amplifying the feeling of concern.
