Viral video of a pig sprinting on the street becomes a meme

The images have toured social networks. An unusual scene showing a pig running at a very fast pace at the edge of a road in Tucson in Arizona (southern of the United States) has literally gone viral on the Web. This sequence, filmed by a real estate agent and posted online on February 23, has been viewed more than 6 million times.

"Wee wee wee, all the way back!" I was showing houses on the southeast side of Tucson when I saw this animal (…) ”, wrote on his Facebook account Damion Alexander, who was in his car when he captured these images.

A meme on social networks

The sequence, which lasts about twenty seconds, greatly amused the internet users, who were very impressed to see a pig running at this pace. The animal in question is actually not really a "pig", it is a "javelina" or peccary, a kind of small warthog that lives in the South of the United States, in Central America and America from South.

Several Internet users took the opportunity to divert these images, which quickly became a meme. "Me, leaving work at 5:59 minutes and 59 seconds" or "Les Charriots de feu version javelina" tweeted some internet users.
