Naked sunbather chases boar around German bathing spot after it snatches his laptop bag

It's not the sight most sunbathers would expect to see while relaxing by a lake on a summer's day.

But families were stunned when a naked man was seen sprinting through a bathing spot in Germany after a wild boar snatched a plastic bag containing his laptop.

Adele Landauer, an actor and life coach, took photos of the chase beside the Teufelssee lake — a popular bathing spot in the Grunwell forest in Berlin.

She captured the hilarious scene as the man scrambled to recover his computer from the boar, who was running around with two piglets in tow.

Ms Landauer described the man as a "hero" and said his focus was inspiring, adding: "This happens when you’re focused on your goals".

She said everyone nearby clapped when he got his bag back.

"Nature strikes back!" she wrote, adding that the man laughed it all off.
"He gave it his all, with not a stitch on," she said.

After she captured the moment, she said that she asked the man for permission to share the photos online. He found them hilarious and said yes, she added.

In Germany, there is a strong tradition of naturism, where people regularly strip off in outdoor public spaces. It is known as Freikörperkultur — "free body culture" — or FKK for short.

She said: "Yesterday at the lake in Berlin I saw a real hero.

"A female wild boar with two babies came out of the forest in order to search for food."

Ms Lauder said many people were lying on their towels "completely naked", adding that some were initially scared the wild boars seemed to be peaceful.

"After they ate a pizza from a backpack of a man who was taking a swim in the lake they were looking for a dessert," she said.

"They found this yellow bag and decided to take it away but the man who owned it realised it was the bag with his laptop.

"So, he was very focused and run behind the boars in order to get it back.

"Everyone of us adored him how focused he stayed and when he came back with his yellow bag in the hand we all clapped and congratulated him for his success."
