"Welcoming a 'micropig' into their home, Steve Jenkins and Derek Walter looked forward to life with their new, pint-sized pet

Then as young as six weeks old, the tiny piglet, called Esther, was just 4lbs - with her owners told she could grow up to 70lbs.

But nearly five years on, the porker weighs a staggering 650lbs - more than a fully grown polar bear - after continuing to expand"

 

This is why you shouldn't get pigs as pets.

Wow, and I thought my 64 pound Australian Shepherd Collie was rather large (most don't get over 55 pounds).

Hmm I'm thinking either it was a genuine mistake or the breeder was having a laugh at least she's in a good home and being very well looked after which is the most important thing

Oh my goodness. That's a pretty big difference. 

Good on them for not turning it into bacon, but wow...650 lbs? That's crazy.

I want one! 

I watch it with no sound, did it mention if he was house trained or not?

That piggy is a cutie. 

Especially cute on a sandwich.

Or a biscuit.

There's no such thing as a "micropig." It simply doesn't exist and the breeder lied to them. They're idiots for falling for the "micropig" scam.

Due to most media depicting pigs as being rather small animals, a lot of people are surprised to find out that they can get surprisingly large. "Micro-Pigs" are just piglets.
