A dead wild boar was discovered this Sunday between two garbage containers on a street in Bilbao's Otxarkoaga neighborhood, an unusual sight in the city center.

The discovery occurs on a day marked by high temperatures, with Euskadi under a red alert for extreme heat. Currently, the causes of the animal's death are unknown, as is whether it is related to the weather conditions.
While wild boars are increasingly appearing in urban environments, finding a deceased specimen in the middle of a city street is uncommon. The animal was located between two bins and its appearance did not go unnoticed by local residents and passersby.
