The internet has its newest cult hero.
A massive wild boar dubbed “Pigzilla” was caught on video in Hong Kong going through some trash near a school, according to CBS News. The network reported that boars as big as 450 pounds are commonly seen in the hills around Hong Kong, and some come into the city looking for food.
Naturally, footage of Pigzilla posted on Facebook quickly turned the animal into a social media sensation:

We regret to inform you Pigzilla actually has pretty woke opinions and volunteers to help in nursing homes. https://t.co/AoRpEjcsNF
