A giant wild boar has been caught on camera raiding a wheelie bin (dumpster) for food in Hong Kong.

The huge pig, which has been nicknamed "Pigzilla" and "Hogzilla" on social media, was significantly taller than the refuse collector when standing on its hind legs.

The whopping porker, which was filmed on February 6 near a primary school, was surrounded by several piglets.

Seeing wild boar in the city is not uncommon in Hong Kong but this specimen is exceptionally large.
