2021.07.26: JG's 7/26/2021 video of 19's return to Brooks Camp. He was in for a rude awakening when he jumped from on top of the falls into the far pool and was met by 856. He then went to the lip where he did not feel welcomed and finally passed by the falls platform.

Mckate's 7/26/2021 video of 19's arrival. "Nothing like dropping in unexpectedly on 856! 19 was a little anxious about finding a spot to fish. We first saw this boar in late July 2019, and he received his number that year. He didn't appear on the cams in 2020, so it's great to see him back. Aside from being a blonde with light ears, he also has the distinctive feature of white nails on his front paws. You can see them when he walks on the trail."

2021.07.29: 19 is unwelcome on the lip, 7/29/2021 video by mckate. "806 doesn't know 19 and doesn't particularly want him around her cub. And what does 19 do but immediately cause a stir by trying to steal a fish from the 505 sub. 806 sends him away with a nip on the butt." The butt bite occurs at 2:26 and 19 then slides off the lip.
