Several kayakers had a scare after mistaking what appeared to be a crocodile in the waters off Pasir Ris Park turned out to be a wild boar enjoying a swim.
In a TikTok video shared by Singaporekayakers on April 1, the group said: “We were this close to panicking.”
The clip, taken from a distance, showed the object that “did not look like a floating log”.
“We observed for a while (and) were ready to report back and cease all water activities at once,” they said.
Upon closer observation, it turned out to be a false alarm, and a close-up video showed the lone wild boar bobbing in and out of the water.
The video has since garnered around 100,000 views.
Several social media users were amused by the wild boar.
