Boar Overboard! Firefighters rescue baby wild pig from ocean in Quarry Bay

Looks like Babe made another sequel… in Hong Kong.

A baby wild boar had to be rescued yesterday afternoon when it was spotted struggling in the sea near the North Point Police Station, reports the Bastille Post.

By the time the police, firefighters and SPCA staff arrived on the scene (not overkill at all), our little Babe had swum to Quarry Bay. Thankfully, it was pulled out of the water before it was too late.

That’ll do, Pig. That’ll do.
