Humongous boar nicknamed ‘pigzilla’ invokes fear and awe in shocking video
A lot of people have thoughts about “pigzilla.”
A video posted to Facebook last Tuesday shows a gigantic boar going through a trash bin with a trio of offspring by its side.
The post has been shared more than 6,000 times and has amassed about 1,000 comments.
It’s not officially known where the video was taken — but comments on the post suggest the trash bin was outside a primary school in Hong Kong, CBS News reported.
Just take a look at that thing.

A few were relieved the beast wasn’t closer to home.

Of course, there are critters over here in the States that could give you some reason for concern. Look no further than Nutria, rodents that are native to South America and can grow up to 2 feet long and 20 pounds. Oh, and that doesn’t include the 12-inch tail.
The California Department of Fish and Wildlife sent out a warning about these “rodents of unusual size” that have been spreading in the San Joaquin Valley.
And if that isn’t enough for you, check out this humongous alligator from Florida.
No word on whether “pigzilla” or the gator would win in a fight.
