An enormous pig fought for its freedom in the back of a pickup truck being driven down a road.
The clip, filmed by another road user, shows how the hulking hog tried to break free from the ropes securing it.
As the huge farm animal writhes in distress, the pickup truck transporting it bounces up and down on the road.

The swine is so large that its length exceeds the large vehicle’s width and its head is outside the cargo bed.
It dwarfs the kid goat being transported next to it.
The strange scenes were recorded on the Raposo Tavares Highway in Cotia, near São Paulo, Brazil.
The motorway was busy when the images were taken around 2pm last Wednesday (24 Apr).
The incident violated several rules, as reported on Need to Know.
The vehicle in question wasn’t licensed to transport live cargo.
It wasn’t spacious or heavy-duty enough to safely transport the large animal.
There was no emergency phone number on the vehicle’s rear.
There was no roof over the cargo bed and the walls weren’t nearly tall enough to ensure that the animals wouldn’t fall out.
And there was nothing to keep them comfortable from the temperatures outside.
Local media say the driver risked a 195.23 BRL (£30) fine and five points on his licence.
The police are not thought to be investigating.
