Gargantuan 1,600-pound porker dubbed 'King of Pigs'

ZHENGZHOU, China, Jan. 9 (UPI) -- A portly porker weighing in at more than 1,600 pounds was dubbed the "King of Pigs" in a Chinese contest seeking the most sizable swine.

The competition Sunday in Zhengzhou, Henan Province, ended with the massive pig, which weighs in at 1,653 pounds, being dubbed the "King of Pigs" after his size was compared to that of other big pigs.

The newly crowned sovereign swine measures more than 3 feet tall and nearly 7 feet long.

A video from the contest shows the pig showing off its gargantuan size by giving a literal piggyback ride to a woman.
