Young Micro Pig Needs to Lose a Little Weight: Video of Pig Walking on Treadmill Goes Viral [VIDEO]
A young micro pig becomes the Internet's latest animal star, as well as the cutest workout motivation -- check out the viral video of a tiny hog strutting on a treadmill!
Cleverly titled as "Micro Pig on Treadmill - Work those HAMstrings!" the approximately one-and-a-half minute long clip shows the little black-and-brown spotted piglet walking along, wagging its tail, and briefly taking breaths in between before speeding up the pace to prevent from falling off the exercise machine, while Frank Turner's light folk song is playing in the background.
Many viewers expressed their delight after watching the adorable pig snorting 'oink oink' during the workout.
Collegehumor jokingly commented on the video, "Don't work off TOO much fat. That's the tasty part," while another similar comment by Eddycro read, "all that bacon going to waste L."
There were some viewers who wanted to actually own the animal. "I would get one of these in a heartbeat if they actually stayed that size," said Kurt R.
The video was created by petpiggies, a breeder of the animals based in Bedfordshire, United Kingdom. Released under the witty description, "Young micro pig needs to lose a little weight," the clip instantly became popular, already receiving tens of thousands of views, over 80,000 in total, since it was uploaded on Tuesday.
The specially bred teacup pigs grow to around 16 inches tall, but also can get bigger or be as small as 12 inches tall, fully grown. The British celebrities including David Beckham and the "Harry Potter" actor Ruper Grint are reportedly the owners of the cute animals.
