Hello hog fans, subscribers to various large hog-based newsletters, and miscellaneous readers who happened to click on this article about a large hog: We have a big hog for you guys today, by way of Alabama.

The huge hog, apparently loose in Phenix City, Alabama, was captured by Angela Rena who uploaded photos and videos of the hog on Facebook.

As you can see, the hog is very huge, and it appears to be unsupervised. Rena told the Kansas City Star that she didn't believe the hog was apprehended as recently as Saturday.
