As if the picture and the red exclaiming-type image weren't enough to figure it out, it says to watch out for wild boars. There is also advice for if you do happen to run into one. Put any food you might have into your backpack. Definitely don't feed it! Back away slowly.
I guess it depends on where you live, but although there was a wide variety of wildlife where I came from, we didn't have wild boars. Or monkeys. But sometimes there are monkey warnings in Japan too!
This is a monkey warning sign along a highway in Aichi Prefecture. Those monkeys are no joke! Check out that over-turned truck!!
Unfortunately, I have never seen a wild boar or a monkey in a public place. I have been to Arashiyama in Kyoto, where you can climb a small mountain and go visit some monkeys. You can feed them apple slices from inside a building (through a fence-type window). Photos from Arashiyama below:
"You're almost at the top. The monkeys are waiting for you!"
"What is the meaning of life? Oh wait, I'm just a monkey. Bananas!"
