Berlin - Alarmed motorists in Berlin called police after a pack of 28 wild boars took to a quiet street in search of food.

Bystanders described how the animals crossed the road in single file, grunting hungrily as they searched for a breakfast snack early on Thursday morning.

"The animals must've come from the nearby forest hunting for something to eat," a police spokesman said. "They had run out of food so they headed in the direction of people."

Police vehicles closed off the surrounding area and guided the animals back to the woods.

Needless to say, with all of those families stuck in traffic, at least one kid must have asked, "Are we there yet? I'm bored."

Oh common! You saw it coming! I'm starting to feel like Henny Youngman.
