This spear has a crosspiece on it to prevent the boar from charging the length of the spear, driving it all the way through his own body, to savage the human holding the other end.’-Boar and Apples, T. Kingfisherfuck OFFNote that pigs are also HUGE. So, yes, they ARE slightly larger pigs.So I grew up in the city and have never seen a pig in real life and I just googled it and WHAT THE FUCK IS THISI thought they were like labrador sized, like, fat labradors, not mini-cows.every time I see this post there are more people discovering how fuck off huge pigs actually are and I love it I thought this was a thing everyone knew but clearly not and I’m laughing This is me with our Tamworth boar, a heritage breed closer to their wild cousins than the Yorkshire above. I am a fully grown, average sized human. He was a gentle sweetie who, sadly, is no longer with us. His name was Mr. Big. FUCK OFFForever laffin’ at people who don’t understand how enormous, terrifying, and tenacious wild boar are. They’re like if bears had knives protruding from their closed mouths and Didn’t Know When To Quit. Their survival instincts when they’re wounded aren’t “run away and minimize injury” it’s “take the thing that hurt you down with you” They also make sounds like someone crossed a pig with an alligator.Their head and neck alone can be like the size of an entire human torso.Also forever laffin’ at people who think pigs are tiny, ‘cause we designed those things can get in the neighbourhood of a thousand pounds in ideal circumstances. It’s like when people assume Tuna must be small because they’ve only ever experienced them in hockey puck form.PSA: animals are bigger and scarier than you thought. They can and would destroy you. -- source link
