wild pig / deer digging?

[shiki_no_uta]

anybody knows the difference between the way this two animals dig looking for roots? i've found many diggings in the forest arround where i live, and i was wondering who made them. My experience tells me that when a pig does it, it looks like it was made with this industrial machine for agriculture

really deep, very moved. But the ones i saw arround doesn't look so deep and are like spots here and there, no complete areas.
any idea?

Sounds more like badger or 'Dachs' as you would call them over there.

Fairly nice way to put wild boar foraging/digging(using their noses), yes it looks a bit like a plow. If ur in berlin head up the the woods around teufelsee in west berlin(think its in charlottenburg). Near the okowerk and around the nudist lake beside it and you will see them in the evening or mornings. They are fairly used to people there so sometimes come out in the middle of the day too. I met about 5 adults and probably about 30 young just at the front of the okowerk once. Keep your distance, leave the dog at home and use your common sense and you should be fine.

Whenever I read something that starts "they reckon" I take my large pinch of salt. Just out of interest, not that it is likely to happen, if you were attached by said pig what exactly are you going to do with your big knife?
