00:06Autumn in a small wooded area in the Magdeburg district.
00:11A herd of wild boar lives here.
00:14Outwardly, the animals are indistinguishable from other wild boars.
00:18And yet, there is something special about it.
00:20They have accepted a human being as a member of their species into their community.
00:25Heinz Meinhardt.
00:28Initially, he only wanted to set up a feeding station,
00:32so that the pigs leave the surrounding fields alone.
00:35But then he became good friends with them and has been going out there twice a day for over four years.
00:41In any weather, whether Sunday or public holiday.
00:45By now the animals are so familiar that he walks with them all over the territory,
00:50studies and films their way of life.
00:53He has become one of the Irish.
00:56A pig among pigs, so to speak.
01:00Now, finally in late autumn, he can fulfill an old dream.
01:04To be present during their mating season.
01:07The time of intoxication.
01:09This is not a safe undertaking.
01:11Because these are not tame animals that let just anyone pet them.
01:16These are wild boars in their natural habitat.
01:22He can still get out.
01:25But soon that will no longer be possible.
01:27Because the strong boars that come from afar,
01:30They engage in fierce battles among themselves and treat him as a rival.
01:35He has already had to survive several attacks.
01:38When things really get going, he's only safe in the car.
01:44In the distance, the first skirmishes begin.
01:48But he is not satisfied with that.
01:51He wants to get closer.
01:53He wants to get closer.
02:30The first day belongs to the losers, to those defeated in the fight.
02:35The winner, the strongest boar, is taking his time before making his appearance.
02:41So, first the weaker male animals try their luck with the sows.
02:46Heinz Meinhardt wants to give them a little extra strength with his corn.
02:51He doesn't take the dustbin of the apartment very seriously and moves away from the car to get a better view of the film.
02:58He receives the receipt immediately.
03:06Even from them, he is only safe in the car.
03:10And the big boar isn't even here yet.
03:14But the deadline for the others is expiring.
03:16They need to hurry if they want to get a chance at all.
03:24Actually, matings between young animals are not good at all.
03:27They are far from reaching their full potential and often cannot provide enough strength to their offspring.
03:33give the way.
03:36If such early connections occur repeatedly over many years, signs of degeneration inevitably appear.
03:44For a healthy, strong wild boar population, adult parent animals are therefore much more valuable.
03:52But what can you do if there's only one old boar in the area?
03:57And he hadn't even shown up when the first day of the revelry came to an end.
04:09It snowed during the night.
04:13I'm back outside early, waiting for my boar, and I'm glad he doesn't come before it's light enough.
04:20for filming.
04:22It all looks beautiful.
04:46The sows in my group are strangely peaceful on this second day.
04:50You wouldn't actually guess from looking at them that the time of their revelry is the most exciting period of their lives.
04:57Where could the boar be?
04:59I sense that he is nearby.
05:02But I venture out of the car again.
05:14He's here now.
05:20The saliva foam beats with its jaws, marking its territory.
05:25Here he is, the boss.
05:27He leaves no doubt about that.
05:29Of course, I'm back in the car by now.
05:32A splendid fellow.
05:33Everything that is correct.
05:35Probably eight years old.
05:36He easily weighs in at four hundredweight.
05:39I already know him from the last time he was intoxicated.
05:43So, has he managed to stay out of the hunters' reach for another year?
05:47He can be proud of that.
05:49He's really letting loose now.
05:53During the rutting season, a boar eats almost nothing and loses a lot of weight.
05:58He loses over 50 pounds in the process.
06:00But he'll manage to fix it again by next time.
06:03I'm absolutely certain of that.
06:06He walks around the group, courting, grunting invitingly, and picks out the sows ready to mate.
06:14One after the other.
06:16He'll have to work really hard.
06:19This is his fourth.
06:21And there are still some waiting.
06:38Six turbulent days in December are over.
06:42The boar has wandered off.
06:44He was only a guest in the group and has become a loner again.
06:49The gestation period for sows lasts approximately four months.
06:52Then Heinz Meinhardt must be ready for the next big undertaking.
06:56The observation of birth.
06:58Around mid-March.
07:06When spring arrives, he takes a vacation.
07:09He has to pay close attention all day now.
07:13Immediately before giving birth, the sows separate and wander off in all directions.
07:19Each on her own.
07:19They look for a convenient spot.
07:22Nobody should disturb them.
07:25Despite it.
07:26Heinz Meinhardt wants to accompany one of them.
07:29Some people hide in the bushes at night.
07:31They can no longer be found the next day.
07:34But he gets lucky with one.
07:35He can follow it.
07:38The contractions have already begun.
07:40The sow interrupts her run.
07:42She found a good job.
07:44Now time is of the essence.
07:46Because she still has a lot of work to do before the birth.
07:51She bustles around.
07:52It gathers grass and dry undergrowth together.
07:55The crib is being created.
07:57The throwing cauldron.
08:17Within a radius of 30 meters, she brings in anything that is soft and warm.
08:21It takes her three hours.
08:24She has to interrupt several times.
08:26The contractions are coming at increasingly shorter intervals.
08:29Then it's finished.
08:31The nest is ready.
08:36I have been warned from all sides.
08:38Guards inside the kettle are extremely dangerous.
08:41That's why the hunting guide came along for safety reasons.
08:44A little off the beaten track, of course.
08:47That's true.
08:49Such young mothers can turn into devils in the form of pigs.
08:53They don't even tolerate their own gang members in their vicinity.
08:56They're hanging around my car, but I'm not interested in them at the moment.
09:00I need to see what's going on in the boiler.
09:03And I don't see anything there at all.
09:07The nest is covered.
09:09The sow toils away in the dark.
09:15Two hours later, however, the midday sun warms things up a little.
09:18The sow clears the grass aside and opens the kettle.
09:22There they are.
09:25My first new arrivals.
09:31They are already very much alive, crawling merrily around and immediately starting to suck.
09:35But the birth continues.
09:38Only after ten hours did the sow survive, and seven little forest sprites kept her busy.
09:51I wonder if I can get a little closer?
09:54The sow makes a very aggressive impression.
09:58The hunt leader should warn me immediately if she attacks.
10:01But first, she shoos her own children from last year away at a respectful distance.
10:07I am apparently still outside the critical distance.
10:11The worst part is, and that's why I don't feel entirely comfortable in my own skin,
10:15I don't even know this distance exactly.
10:28Now I'm within 20 meters of the throwing cup.
10:33And now things are getting uneasy.
10:4220 meters, then.
10:44She won't let me or the other members of the group get any closer.
10:48To escape their attacks, I build myself a small refuge at night.
10:53The next morning I put it into position.
10:59I'll be attacked a few more times before I get to the top.
11:02But ultimately, I feel a bit safer and have a better understanding.
11:10At least I want to find out when the sow and her piglets will leave the cauldron for the first time.
11:22But first of all, I'm worried that the motherless pigs will obey me and knock over the rather wobbly ladder.
11:37Who can blame the little ones for still being a bit clumsy?
11:41The oldest ones are only one day old.
11:44Too tiny to have any discipline in their young bellies.
11:48They vacuum even without any order.
11:51Later they will learn that there is a very specific teat for everyone.
11:55For now, everyone just helps themselves to whatever is available.
12:00And the sow has the patience of a saint.
12:03The newly formed family has not left their shelter even once.
12:09Not on the second day, and not on the third either.
12:13But now, on the fourth day, it's already quite warm for mid-March.
12:17I probably won't have to wait much longer for my walk.
12:21The time has finally come.
12:23Carefully and very anxiously, the sow leads her piglets out of the farrowing nest.
12:28into the big world with its many adventures.
12:40They are still a little scared and huddle close around their mother.
12:45A few hours later, however, the first daring youngsters are already eager to explore.
12:52But they won't get far on their own.
12:54The mother sow always brings them back.
12:59Even piglets need to be constantly monitored.
13:05After a week, the individual families reunite.
13:09Other sows in my group have also given birth to piglets.
13:13In very different locations within the district.
13:15I can't be everywhere at the same time.
13:19I'm looking forward to having them all together again soon.
13:23That's when school starts for the newcomers.
13:26An exciting time for her.
13:31But then something bad happens.
13:34No more thoughts of joyful family life.
13:37Now it's about sheer survival for the newcomers.
13:41Because suddenly winter is back.
13:44Snow falling, icy wind, seven degrees below zero.
13:57The sows don't mind.
13:59They've seen worse.
14:01A thick skin and a dense coat of bristles protect them.
14:05You wouldn't know it from them.
14:08But the little ones, they are barely eight days old.
14:11They're freezing miserably.
14:13The warming throwing kettles no longer exist.
14:22There's only one thing.
14:24Eat well to maintain your strength.
14:29The tiny creatures are at great risk of hypothermia.
14:33The weakest will surely perish.
14:37The sows are also worried about their offspring.
14:40Now everyone is taking care of all the newborns, regardless of who they belong to.
14:47Furthermore, I observed with relief that the little guys realized quite quickly,
14:53how pleasant even the smallest patch of sunshine is.
14:59The warmth is clearly doing them good.
15:02The warmth does them so much good.
15:07The warmth does them so much good.
15:10The heat doesn't bother her.
15:10The warmth does them so much good.
15:27The warmth does them so much good.
15:29And then they take care of it,
15:42Finally, the worst is over.
15:46These two can no longer excuse themselves by saying they need more exercise in the cold.
15:53They're just bullies. The mothers have to assert their authority over them.
16:08All's well that ends well.
16:11But anyone who thinks that Heinz Meinhard now wants to invite his pigs to a proper open-air park is mistaken.
16:19He wants to try something new again. He got the tip from a trade journal.
16:25It said that if you put corn in bottles, the animals need more time to get to it.
16:31This has two advantages. Firstly, they are more occupied at the feeding area, so they have less leisure to roam the fields of the farmers.
16:40seek.
16:40Secondly, it saves money because the supply lasts longer.
16:50But the pigs aren't having any of it. They can fill their bellies much more comfortably in the usual way.
16:57But what if there's nothing there but the bottles?
17:02Like it or not, one after the other they learn how to get to the corn.
17:06The bottles just need to be rolled around vigorously enough. Then the treats will fall out.
17:21Probably from laughing
17:26Probably from laughing
17:48Is this perhaps meant as a kind of criticism of the new method?
17:52Winter is finally over.
17:56Ten piglets died due to the unexpected cold snap.
18:00It took me some time to verify that.
18:03With all this hustle and bustle, counting isn't so easy.
18:09Now the large family group is reuniting.
18:14At first, it's a little difficult to get along with each other.
18:19Even the sows have their difficulties there.
18:26But I observe a great deal of excitement among the youngsters.
18:30They don't know each other at all yet.
18:35The sows do everything they can to keep their offspring at least somewhat together.
18:39But they keep clashing.
18:42It's every man for himself.
18:45And as is often the case, the mothers will start again soon.
18:52And so, at first, a general, cheerful brawl ensues before everyone gets used to each other.
19:07But soon a new problem arises.
19:11How can anyone get enough to eat in such a large pile?
19:17Eight of my sows have had a total of thirty-nine piglets.
19:21For the time being, they are swarming around wildly without any order, suckling wherever they find a free teat.
19:27It doesn't matter whether they get hold of their mother or help themselves to a stranger's animal.
19:32People run from one place to another until they manage to grab a spot.
19:36And then they can't get their throats full enough.
19:46The piglets are so lively that even the most lenient sow finds it too much.
19:51I believe it is high time that some firm rules were introduced into this nursery.
19:58And lo and behold, suddenly it works.
20:01Suddenly, each sow is only responsible for her own piglets.
20:05Everyone now knows where they belong.
20:09The education of the little spring spirits is making initial progress.
20:14But how do they learn it?
20:17I'm watching that closely.
20:20The older animals are, of course, the teachers.
20:22They'll do a demonstration first.
20:25Wild boars recognize each other through nose contact.
20:31If necessary, the eye glands can be used.
20:34And if someone is still unsure who they are dealing with, they report the runs.
20:40There are also Grens sitting there.
20:42Specifically, on the front legs.
20:45And on the hind legs.
20:47But it looks like the demonstration back there will have to be cancelled today.
20:54Now it's clearly the newcomers' turn.
21:00This one is already quite good at it.
21:02Another one is probably still too playful.
21:10Everyone gets ample opportunity to practice.
21:13And gradually, the newcomers learn something very important in their young lives.
21:18Recognizing one's own mother.
21:29If such a little fellow gets lost, he immediately realizes his mistake.
21:34He runs to the nearest sow and lo and behold, it's the mother.
21:38And he is splendidly cared for.
21:44But one day the milk tap is turned off.
21:47The sows let their young suckle for a quarter of a year.
21:51Now I'm noticing more and more often that they simply don't lie down anymore or chase their children away from there.
21:58They should get used to solid food.
22:02This seems a bit tedious at first.
22:04But finally, her milk teeth are now complete.
22:0828 little teeth for each person.
22:11Now it's their turn.
22:13It's not always easy to figure out what tastes really good.
22:18They nibble on everything that comes under their snout.
22:22And this digging also needs to be learned.
22:26That's called breaking.
22:28Often, the finest things are hidden.
22:31Tubers and roots.
22:34Soon they will know what they like best.
22:37One of them once caught crickets very skillfully.
22:41He crept up on her like a cat stalking a mouse.
22:49Now they finally need to start wallowing.
22:54Until now, the little ones have only stood by timidly.
22:57when the sows performed one of their favorite activities.
23:01Even the friendliest request was of no use.
23:15It's quite fun to watch the clumsy little fellows,
23:19how they struggle.
23:21Initially, only the bravest dare to do it.
23:24But even for them, it doesn't work right away.
23:28They are a little scared.
23:30But at least the good intentions are there.
23:34Well, that was a complete disaster.
23:37He's really fed up with yesterday's news again for a while.
23:41There are plenty of places where it's more comfortable.
23:45Let the others do it first.
23:49They seem to feel completely at ease, though.
23:53when they are cleaned by their mother.
23:57It's right to see how beautiful that is.
24:02You can get dirty again afterwards if you want.
24:04Maybe you'll get another turn right away.
24:09I want to try to record the sounds of my wild boars on tape.
24:17That's working out well.
24:19At first I thought,
24:21They would retreat from such a foreign object as the microphone.
24:24But they grunt and squeak away, unconcerned.
24:30Well, but that one.
24:35What does he imagine?
24:37What could that be?
24:39A nice long earthworm?
24:43But the youngster doesn't seem entirely comfortable with it.
24:46He prefers to take cover for now and observe the situation.
24:52That's good.
24:54The closer they get, the clearer the sounds become.
24:58Wild boars emit very different sounds for very specific purposes.
25:03Let's see if I can put together some kind of sound catalog.
25:09Oh dear, now it seems the cable is actually an earthworm.
25:19Well, then maybe next time.
25:21Who could possibly be angry with them?
25:24I would love to take them all home with me and pet them all the time.
25:30Some have already given in to this wish without properly imagining it,
25:34that a cute little piglet will one day become a fully grown wild boar.
25:39This is Tiki the sow, an exquisite pet of the Steffens family in Magdeburg.
25:46Animal lovers found it when it was about eight days old and had gone missing.
25:51Now the pig is almost two years old, weighs almost 200 pounds, and there is no end to its growth.
26:02Kiki can no longer be picked up like a lapdog.
26:06Today she has her own will and enough strength to assert it.
26:16There are more wild boar owners like this than you might think.
26:20The once cute little piglets have long since outgrown their owners.
26:28But where to now?
26:31They cannot return to the wild.
26:35Wild boar herds do not tolerate any foreign animals in their midst.
26:38A zoo is also out of the question. For the same reason.
26:45Every now and then a letter flutters into my house.
26:48Then they ask me if I can help.
26:52But I'm not really sure either.
26:56This Tiki had plenty of outdoor space last year.
27:00If she happens to run into the street today, she will be quickly lured back behind bars.
27:06She frightened harmless hikers.
27:09And it has even been said that a very close couple in love has been dramatically disturbed.
27:13Since then, she can only be kept behind a fence.
27:19The Steffens family is lucky.
27:21An enclosure has been found for their Tiki.
27:23Very close by, so they can visit them often.
27:30I don't need anyone to explain to me that one can get used to such a housemate.
27:41Even if he has transformed the once well-tended garden into an unsightly pile of earth.
27:47But wild boars are simply not pets.
27:52This charming picture is greatly deceptive.
27:55One day, such a sturdy lady might not know what to do with all her strength.
28:13They must be free.
28:16The forest is their world.
28:19How beautiful they are to look at and how interesting it is out there,
28:25I experience this every single day.
28:29Whether it's Hyundai.
28:56The forest is Jennifer Hafenger.
