Two vacationing influencers had their serene swim in the Mediterranean unexpectedly interrupted—by a surprise visitor with tusks.
On Thursday, July 29, TikToker Aleks Jevtic shared a now-viral clip from a group trip to Greece. In the video, two women can be seen enjoying a peaceful dip in the crystal-clear waters—until a wild boar suddenly appears in the background, swimming steadily in their direction. The tranquil scene quickly turned into a scramble as the women rushed back toward their boat.
“You have to go out, it’s not safe out here,” a voice can be heard urging them in the subtitled captions.
The Influencers Chased by Wild Boar While Swimming Off a Greek Island video shows the animal gaining speed as it closes in, prompting alarm from others aboard the boat.
“Oh my god, guys. It’s actually close to you,” one of them exclaims from off-camera.
The video zooms in on the boar, its snout, ears, and eyes just above the surface as it paddles through the water.
