PIGS might not be able to fly, but on the other side of the world it seems that they can at least surf.
A two-month-old crossbred piglet named Zorro has become New Zealand’s newest surfing superstar.
The daredevil hog has been riding waves at Mount Maunganui beach in the Bay of Plenty on the country’s north island since he was three weeks old.
Owner Matthew Bell said the “phenomenal swimmer” will carry on riding until he is too big for the board.
His owner said: “We'll keep surfing until he gets to a size where he's unmanageable, and see what happens after that.”
