Observation of rescue behaviour in wild boar (Sus scrofa)
Michaela Masilkova,Miloš Ježek,Václav Silovský,Monika Faltusová,Jan Rohla,Tomáš Kušta,Hynek Burda +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a case in which an adult female wild boar manipulated wooden logs securing the door mechanism of a cage trap and released two entrapped young wild boars was documented.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the wild boar's space use and movement patterns during the first COVID-19 lockdown in the Czech Republic and compare them to the same period in 2019 with no Covid-19 restrictions.

Marks,Mathieu Garel,Carole Toïgo,Pascal Marchand,Nigel C. Bennett,Melitta A. McNarry,Kelly A. Mackintosh,M. R. Brown,David M. Scantlebury +19 more
TL;DR: This work measured oxygen consumption in humans to demonstrate that the energetic costs of turning increase disproportionately with both speed and angular velocity, which resulted in the minimum COT speed occurring at very low speeds, which reduced with increased path tortuosity.
