00:14Pigs are said to be stupid and dirty.
00:18Her name is a nasty insult among people.
00:21I know better.
00:23I've been on the road here for almost five years.
00:26The path leads to my wild boar hunting grounds.
00:31Every day I drive out to them and observe their activities.
00:36But today, March 10th, there's something new.
00:39I have a guest with me, a real cameraman, a professional.
00:44He's already excited. And we're still in the car.
00:47But he also wants to get out.
00:50No one but me has ever tried anything like this before.
00:53This year I've gotten even closer to the black coats.
00:56But how will they treat the stranger?
01:17The newcomer feels as if all the wild boars in the world are lurking here, their fiery eyes and bristling bristles poised, waiting for him.
01:27The animals are suspicious.
01:30The raised tail, the rump, indicates this.
01:33And if she has to, then...
01:36Come here.
01:36But he's there.
01:39The recognized member of the pig family, their highest-ranking member.
01:43Heinz Meinhardt practices with the guest in all weather conditions.
01:48The animals should get used to the second human a little.
01:58This is not particularly significant yet.
02:00After a few days, however, they are no longer quite so standoffish.
02:04Some even cautiously come running after them.
02:07And slowly the stranger becomes more independent.
02:10He is no longer staying quite so close to his host.
02:15Of course, he can't afford everything.
02:18It took Heinz Meinhardt a whole year before he could touch the animals.
02:26There's nothing that can be done after a week.
02:30And only the master can feed them, as before.
02:33Come to Schwarzburg.
02:36Come here.
02:37At least the visitor can get quite close.
02:40With the camera.
02:49However, a 300-year-old document already notes,
02:52The wild boar is a courageous, fierce, and undaunted animal.
02:57that, once it reaches its age,
03:00to drive them hard into flight and bravely face death.
03:04And some hunters, whose calves were ripped open to the bone,
03:08I can confirm, they are not lapdogs.
03:14These are not lapdogs.
03:20Music
03:22Amen.
03:57He succeeded this year.
04:00His car is now parked just a few meters away from the throwing bucket.
04:08He calmly prepares for a very special audio recording.
04:17But he feels uneasy.
04:19Sows with piglets are particularly not to be trifled with.
04:26This proximity to the birthing cauldron is also new for Heinz Meinhardt.
04:30He had never gotten close enough before to make it worthwhile to hold the microphone up to him.
04:36The sow always chased him away.
04:39Today he can stand right next to him.
04:44The birth is already underway.
04:45I've been watching the sow build her udder all day.
04:49She has made a beautiful nest there.
04:55I built a radio remote control for my camera.
04:59Because otherwise I am rarely in the fortunate position of being able to bring another cameraman along.
05:05I'll have to film myself.
05:06I'm preparing that now, just in case.
05:10The transmitter, receiver and mechanical release mechanism are designed to be suitable for film and still cameras.
05:18Is everything ready?
05:22I want to record the first contact sounds between sow and piglets.
05:26They start as early as the birthing cauldron.
05:29That's why I have to get very close.
05:31A few meters away, in the vicinity of the car, the voices can no longer be heard.
05:37This is a newcomer from last year.
05:39Because the sow doesn't get much rest during childbirth.
05:43This is due to the shared values that are approaching here.
05:47This isn't the first birth I've witnessed today.
05:51And it's always the same.
05:53As soon as other members of the pack get too close to the little ones, they are driven away without mercy.
05:59I told you so.
06:01Here we go again.
06:17We're a little scared because they'll chase us around again right away.
06:30It's hard to believe.
06:32She tolerates us in her vicinity.
06:34Well, I guess we'll get some sound recordings then.
06:38I've seen a few hundred of these little fairytales over the years.
06:43Approximately 40 throws.
06:45And every time I noticed that the sows know their piglets and the children know their mothers very well.
06:51They become imprinted on each other in a short time.
06:55This already works one to two hours after birth.
07:03The siblings' voices must therefore be similar in some way.
07:08And the mother sow must also sound similar to her offspring.
07:13She is currently restoring their energetic calm.
07:16This is the only way they can recognize each other acoustically.
07:19And that is very important for the future lives of the youngsters.
07:27Wild boars as research subjects.
07:30I almost forgot about that.
07:32That it's also just a lot of fun,
07:34It's wonderful to observe such a lively family.
08:10The sow takes great care of her piglets.
08:13She makes sure they always stay nice and warm.
08:16The throwing bucket is a practical piece of equipment in that case.
08:20And then Heinz Meinhardt has an adventurous idea.
08:26One would have to measure the temperature in the boiler.
08:29This time he's getting so close that he might actually manage to find that out too.
08:34At least he doesn't want to crawl in there himself.
08:38Newborn piglets are very sensitive.
08:41They catch a cold quickly.
08:43And then it's all over for them.
08:45Such failures can be observed every year.
08:49The mother sow has just left the farrowing pen for a moment.
08:53This is your opportunity.
08:55Because he's surely not going to be that crazy as to wait until she comes back.
08:59I have to wait until she's back inside.
09:11Now the matter is truly real.
09:19Maybe I'm exaggerating again.
09:22It is possible that the sow herself reacts aggressively to such minor disturbances.
09:30Oh dear, I hope she's not ticklish.
09:34I will wait exactly ten minutes, then I will take the thermometer out again.
09:41They're probably wondering what I'm doing here.
09:45There must be a reason why the piglets hardly leave the kettle during their first few days of life.
09:56But when I looked, I was surprised.
10:0125 degrees plus, that's almost like they have an oven in there.
10:09The family has not yet reunited.
10:13I intend to use the time until then for experiments with the one-year-old boars and childless sows of the group.
10:20They don't really know what to do with themselves at the moment anyway.
10:30I want to find out which of the many potato varieties my animals like to eat the most.
10:37First of all, I want to offer them three varieties.
10:49That's unbelievable! Those beasts are even stealing my bowls!
11:00Chasing after someone is completely pointless.
11:02I'll have to come up with something new.
11:04This matter is really bothering me.
11:13The new containers aren't worth much.
11:16They can drag the wild boars away if they really want to.
11:19There are good reasons for this persistence.
11:22The wooded area where his pack lives is surrounded by fields.
11:26And the farmers told him that they will be planting potatoes everywhere this year.
11:31He should keep his pigs away from them.
11:34Because wild boar can cause hair-raising damage to arable land.
11:39The farmers also told him the variety they would be growing.
11:43But perhaps there is another one that the animals prefer.
11:47He plans to feed them these in the forest at the diversionary feeding station.
11:51He hopes this will allow him to keep them within the territory.
11:56But do wild boars even distinguish between different varieties?
12:01First, one from box number 1 is eaten.
12:04He is standing in the middle.
12:06The other two remain untouched after intensive sniffing.
12:18A different order.
12:20The variety that was just preferred is now on the left.
12:24The animal immediately adapts to the changed situation and eats from the same box as before.
12:30The others are just good enough to get in there with the runs.
12:35So it seems to be working.
12:43The third option follows.
12:50Now the box with the number 1 is on the right-hand side.
12:53And indeed, after some searching, this specific variety is chosen again.
13:05He has tried it with animals of all ages.
13:08The result was always the same.
13:11The Institute for Potato Research helped him with the experiments.
13:14In the end, the pigs chose from among 21 varieties.
13:17And they always found their favorite.
13:21And now, after the harvest, the success is complete.
13:25This delicious variety actually helped to keep the herd in the forest.
13:34However, it just as easily could not have worked out.
13:37The protocol almost went missing once.
13:48They also ate the other experimental potatoes, of course.
13:51But only after there was nothing left of the tastiest bits.
13:57They're always hungry, even if the food doesn't taste that good.
14:10It's been almost a week since my sows farrowed.
14:14I was able to observe one of them.
14:16The others, who knows where they are.
14:20I'm not expecting anything special today.
14:22But it won't be long before the families are reunited.
14:28All members of the group meet at a very specific point in the territory within a very short time.
14:34Then I must keep my eyes open so that I don't miss this unique spectacle.
14:44It can't be that time yet.
14:47It's a bit too cold.
14:51Or maybe not.
14:53Isn't something moving there?
14:59Actually.
15:04I happen to run into the sow Weißohr.
15:07I actually thought she would still be lying in the warm nest with her piglets.
15:12So she's already wandering around.
15:15Aha.
15:20Now comes the throng of children.
15:32Now I can calmly watch as White Ear says hello in her own way.
15:37Those she is greeting are the newcomers from last year.
15:40Twelve young boars and four one-year-old sows.
15:43The same ones that were chased away from the vicinity of the birthing nest a week ago.
15:48Just one day before the birth of the new piglets, the sows in my area were still mothering their offspring from last year.
15:55The sudden change of direction is quite surprising.
15:59But twelve months barely leaving the mother's side is enough.
16:05White Ear is also just a busy wild boar.
16:08However, contact with her grown sons will not be completely severed.
16:12Even years later, she will still recognize her offspring.
16:15But the connection needs to loosen.
16:18And so that they learn to finally stand on their own two feet, they are first chased around the area.
16:24Their mothers now have more important tasks.
16:27The main characters are here from today onwards.
16:35Here comes the next sow from my group with her offspring.
16:39I can't quite tell which one it is either.
16:44Ah, hole-eared.
16:46I gave each sow a name based on some characteristic physical feature.
16:54Lochohr once narrowly escaped a hunter.
16:58The name is clear in the case of White Ear.
17:01Then there's Fuchsi, Humpel, Kleine, and Kerbohr.
17:07They should all have babies by now.
17:10The names are not just a gimmick.
17:12For my observations and experiments, I need to identify certain animals repeatedly.
17:17Even over longer periods of time.
17:19With all the commotion, it wasn't easy to tell them apart at first.
17:23But by now I know them all very well.
17:26They don't respond to their names.
17:33I haven't seen most of my sow mothers yet.
17:37But apparently they're all already on their way.
17:40Perhaps the day is quite pleasant for her after all.
17:43You can't really know everything about the animals.
17:46And now, around noon, the weather is definitely better than it was in the morning.
18:11The sows have to move somewhere now.
18:14Turn the little ones around in single file.
18:16I can see it clearly in my mind's eye.
18:19If I miss something there, that would be stupid.
18:22I want to go to meet my black chains.
18:24You are searching.
18:25Maybe I'll actually find them in the forest.
18:55This decision is worth its weight in gold.
18:58Because what Heinz Meinhardt is now experiencing is actually indescribable.
19:03That's in words.
19:08That's in words.
19:13That's in words.
19:15That's in words.
19:22That's in words.
19:31That's in words.
19:41That's in words.
20:03That's in words.
20:07Already have the comfort boxes.
20:08If I know Ziton.
20:08They are only a few days old.
20:14Then they set off again.
20:17This is not a trait shared by all animals.
20:20Here, each family trots through the forest on its own.
20:23Almost like a march from a star, they converge from all sides towards the central meeting point.
20:30Do the animals really communicate with each other in some way?
20:38Heinz Meinert doesn't have time to find that out.
20:40Because now they have arrived.
20:42And if the second cameraman hadn't been there,
20:45Then the film probably wouldn't have worked out so well.
21:01Ten guards went into the bushes individually a week ago to give birth to their young.
21:07Now they are all back.
21:10In total, they are leading 46 piglets.
21:13Together with last year's offspring, the family group now consists of 72 animals.
21:18That's a very large number.
21:20Heinz Meinert probably won't be in front of the camera for much longer.
21:25Such large groups soon split up.
21:27The territory is not large enough for everyone.
21:30Furthermore, establishing the ranking becomes difficult.
21:32When two equally strong sows claim the lead,
21:36Then one of them gathers her children and a few other animals around her and wanders away.
21:41A new group is emerging.
21:46For now, everything is still harmonious.
21:53However, things aren't always so idyllic.
21:58Sometimes there are serious things going on.
22:01I can tell you a thing or two about that.
22:03A rather discordant one.
22:04This piece here has gotten caught in a noose.
22:07It's hard to believe, but there are still poachers out there.
22:12The animal pulled and pulled, and finally the wire broke.
22:16However, his left hind leg was constricted almost to the bone.
22:21You have to get rid of the noose.
22:23Dr. Bürger, the zoo director from Magdeburg, has arrived.
22:27The animal is to be stunned.
22:34It has been hit, but without much effect, it seems.
22:43The poor animal must have struggled for a long time at its tether before it was free.
22:47I know every animal in my pack very well, and I had been missing this one.
22:52Then it was there again, in that state.
22:55Okay, one more time.
22:59The shot hits its mark again.
23:01The matter is not yet decided.
23:06There is no experience with the use of tranquilizers in wild boars.
23:10Therefore, we prefer to observe first whether the dose has any effect at all.
23:15Except for my group, wild boar are nocturnal.
23:19If you want to catch an animal, you can hardly do anything with a tranquilizer dart.
23:24You wouldn't be able to find the pig in the dark, even if you had hit it.
23:29Therefore, tranquilizer guns have hardly been tested on wild boars so far.
23:35And indeed, my invalid has recovered.
23:39We already knew that wild boars have a strong constitution.
23:45The third attempt.
23:54Nobody knows what quantities are suitable for wild boar.
23:58The dose we have fired so far is a quantum.
24:01which is mentioned in the literature on the tranquilization of bears and lions.
24:05However, I can already see that the remedy is still not working quite right.
24:09So, caution is still advised.
24:12Such an injured animal can become quite stubborn.
24:16The word from the lawn in wild boar,
24:18This could be the case here.
24:21For safety reasons, once we finally have the patient, he is additionally restrained.
24:27Then we'll address the injury.
24:32The injection is a preventative measure to avoid possible infections.
24:42The actual procedure then doesn't take long.
24:45The injury looks bad,
24:47But in all likelihood, the animal will survive.
24:55However, the anesthetic didn't really work that well after all.
24:59As soon as we let go, the pig gallops off.
25:10This one didn't get away with it.
25:13A sow from my group.
25:15She had piglets, so she was protected.
25:19Nevertheless, she was shot.
25:21Whether by mistake or intentionally, who can judge?
25:25Their children are now facing a difficult fate.
25:27This, for example.
25:32Soon, his peers will be significantly taller than him.
25:45He has to struggle miserably through life.
25:58And once he gets hold of a teat,
26:01then it is usually completely drained.
26:03Wild boars live in a social society.
26:05They not only care for their own,
26:07but also motherless piglets.
26:09They are also protected from enemies.
26:12But the sow's teats are only sufficient for her own offspring.
26:16The runt will have to accept that.
26:37Such weak animals never reach their full strength in their entire lives.
26:41Inevitably, they will only have weaker offspring.
26:44This can lead to the degeneration of entire populations.
26:47Furthermore, they are currently orphaned piglets,
26:50which cause the most damage.
26:52Despite being cared for in the group, they can never learn that much.
26:56as if they still had their own mother.
26:58And they're not exactly careful either.
27:01When such groups break into fields,
27:04They live without rhyme or reason.
27:06Therefore, protecting leading sows makes sense.
27:09Hunters bear a great responsibility for ensuring compliance with it.
27:12Quite apart from the fact that the little guys are also suffering.
27:16This one won't cause any more damage.
27:20The weakest perish.
27:23These are the terrible consequences of a misfired shot.
27:39I know of no animal mothers who are more patient and touchingly concerned for their offspring than my sows.
27:46Many a person who got too close to the piglets has been chased up into the trees by the piglets.
27:52I know someone who had to spend hours on the lowest branch of a pine tree.
27:59And later he couldn't even say how he had managed to climb the five meters up the completely smooth trunk.
28:07These are the last remaining defensive animals in our homeland.
28:11And I can't be completely sure about that either.
28:14But I believe they will never hurt me.
