A pesky pig in western Australia is stirring up some trouble. The feral pig frequents Pilbara camp sites, swiping alcohol and food.

Local authorities have issued a reminder for campers and people who park at rest stops to secure edible and drinkable items. Over the course of several days, the pig reportedly drank up to 18 cans of beer at the DeGrey River rest area.

One camper who witnessed the pig stated “In the middle of the night these people camping opposite us heard a noise, so they got their torch out and shone it on the pig and there he was, scrunching away at their cans. Then he went and raided all the rubbish bags.

Bizarre as it may seem, the pig lives an interesting life and was last spotted resting under a tree. Many witnesses believed it was nursing a hangover. Local government authorities are urging people to report sightings so the animal can be removed.
