The footage of this man's most embarrassing moment has gone viral on the internet. While enjoying a moment of relaxation at the water's edge, a German swimmer was filmed on August 5 running naked after a wild boar, as reported by Bild. The robber had stolen his bag, which contained his laptop. The encounter ended in a comical chase, captured by an amused audience on the beach at Lake Teufelssee in Berlin.

A resounding success
Adele Landauer, life coach in the German capital, shared the hilarious scene on Facebook. In the photo accompanying the photos, she said:
Yesterday, on the shores of Lake Berlin, I saw a real hero. A female boar with two babies came out of the forest to look for food. Many of us were afraid, but the boars seemed peaceful.
Everything changed when the little family found a yellow bag and decided to take it away. But all's well that ends well, the man in his birthday suit ended up getting his things back from the thieving boar’s mouth. ‘I then showed him the photos, he burst out laughing and gave me permission to make them public,’ continues Landauer.
'All of us loved it. ...when he came back with his yellow bag in his hand, we all applauded him and congratulated him on his success. That's what happens when you focus on your goals,’ she joked.
Nudity in the midst of wild boars
Nudism isn't a foreign concept to our friends over in Germany - sometimes cookouts feature two different kinds of bratwursts. The practice, called Freikörperkultur, literally, the ‘culture of the free body,’ is becoming less and less popular with the younger generation. However, it is still popular on the beach at Teufelssee, a popular place for nude sunbathing.
But in recent years Berliners have had to share the place with curious visitors. For good reason: many people leave their rubbish behind, giving wild boar, foxes, raccoons, and badgers the chance to come and feed. The animals now have their own routine and wander around without any fear... This then gives rise to some very amusing confrontations.
