A wild boar was caught and killed after taking refuge in a university for four days in southern China.

Video filmed at Jiangxi Normal University on November 11 shows a wild boar swimming along a river and climbing onto the shore to enter the university.

The wild boar was then seen running around on the campus.

According to reports, officials used infrared drones and other devices to search for the wild boar on the campus and finally caught it at a pool in the bamboo forest east of the campus.

An employee of Nanchang Wildlife Protection Centre said: "Since we did not have guns, three hunting dogs were injured during the process of catching the wild boar.

"The boar was a 161-kilogram and 1.8-metre-long adult male with 5-centimetre-long tusks. It was not clear where the boar had come from."

The video was provided by local media with permission.

11月11日，江西南昌，一头野猪游过江西师大瑶湖校区的护校河闯入校园内，并在校区四处狂奔。为避免野猪伤人，当日傍晚，南昌市多部门人员组成搜捕队，并使用了先进的热成像无人机等专业设备，在空中对校区进行了监控和地毯式搜索，未发现野猪的踪迹。
随后，江西师大保卫处发布“安全提示”，标注出野猪经常出现的区域，并提醒广大师生18:00后不要进入这些区域，如发现野猪，不要惊慌，主动避让，不要阻拦、挑衅并及时向校保卫处报告。
15日11时许，南昌市野生动植物保护中心、南昌市护农狩猎队及江西师大瑶湖校区保卫处工作人员共同努力，在该校区东面竹林的水塘处将这头野猪捕获。
“捕捉过程中，因为没有枪支，致使3条猎狗受伤。被捕获的野猪系成年公猪，体重达161公斤，长1.8米，獠牙长近5厘米。目前暂不清楚这头野猪从哪里来的。”南昌市野生动植物保护中心相关负责人称，野猪进入校园情况比较少见，近年来随着生态环境越来越好，野猪繁殖力强且没有天敌，所以出现了这种情况。目前，这头野猪已被无公害化处理。
