Around 17:15 on the 17th, two animals believed to be a parent and cub (about 1.5 m and 80 cm long) were spotted on the riverside of the Hirose River at Reiyashita, Aoba Ward, Sendai, by passengers on a passing bus; both reportedly left heading south. There were no injuries, police patrolled the area and warned residents, and a later Sendai city investigation found they were likely wild boars.
