The warmer temperature outside encourages you to go for walks. Most often, we relax in the forest, among nature, birds singing, green trees and the smell of damp earth. Of course, this is not the only aroma we can encounter in the forest. However, while the typical ones do not arouse our interest, one non-specific one makes it difficult to ignore them.
The smell of Maggi in the forest? Better turn back
Is anyone cooking soup here? In the middle of a forest?
– one might wonder. It turns out that one particular smell that we may encounter while walking is also the one typical of the kitchen. Even if we don’t use this spice for soups, everyone probably knows what it smells like. It often appears in a pot of broth or tomato soup, and sometimes also in other dishes.
The smell of maggi – although it is associated with tasty soup – is not something we want to experience during a quiet walk in the forest. What does it mean? No one in the forest cooks aromatic soup, but the smell of maggi may indicate the presence of a certain forest inhabitant. And unfortunately we’re not talking about a cute squirrel or a vole here.
If you smell maggi, there is a high probability that there is a wild boar nearby
– said Jenifer Calvi from the German Wildlife Foundation, quoted .
What to do if you encounter a wild boar in the forest?
We found the answer to this question from real specialists in this topic. Foresters have published information on what to do in case of contact with a wild boar. As we read:
Wild boars have a keen sense of smell and hearing, but poor eyesight, which often means that humans are the first to notice them. In the event of an encounter with a wild boar, if the person has not been noticed by it, he or she should not make sudden movements but calmly move away. Don’t scare or scare, but also don’t panic. […] Particular caution must be exercised in spring, when young wild boars appear. Weaner pigs must not be touched or taken from the forest. If the mother is nearby, she may become very aggressive and attack. Therefore, if you encounter even a young wild boar, you should calmly move away.
