Influencers scramble to get out of water after being chased by boar

This is the moment two influencers scramble to get out of the water off a Greek island as a wild boar chases them through the waves.

While the TikTokers were enjoying the blue waters off the uninhabited Atokos island near Ithaca on a group trip, a wild boar also having fun in the sea picked up speed and began to swim towards them.

In a video uploaded to social media, the two digital content creators can be seen swimming quickly towards their friend in a boat after a local is heard shouting: 'You have to go out, it's not safe out here.'

'Oh my God, he's actually close to you!' another influencer calls out from the boat, alerting her friends to the narrowing distance between them and the animal, as the women speedily breaststroke to safety.

The pig looked 'cute from the distance,' one of the swimmers wrote in the caption to the video on TikTok.
