A wild boar stood perfectly calm after breaking into a Florida home – but turned on beast mode when sheriff’s deputies came to evict it.
The large animal was captured on officers’ body camera footage inside the living room of the house in Lehigh Acres.
As the deputies approached, the black boar began charging at them several times.
‘Easy, easy,’ one of the deputies could be heard saying as the boar ran at him.

‘Hey bring me that rope.’
The deputy tried to lasso the boar but it escaped, and circled back at him, snorting and charging like a bull taking aim at a red-coloured target.
‘Whoa,’ the officer said.
The boar eventually took off in an eastward direction into the woods, evading capture.
Homeowner Edward Wells, 82, said the feral animal ‘busted through the back door’ and appeared to be 300 pounds.
‘There was this huge explosion. It was like a shotgun, only much louder,’ Wells told WFTX.
‘I thought, “Oh my God,” we’re being bombed.’
Wells added that the boar first attacked his dog, Bailey, before smashing through a sliding glass door. The boar hung out in his living room for roughly 40 minutes.
