An enormous North Carolina pig, named Thanos because of his large size, is now receiving hospice care for a broken leg only two weeks after going viral.
The 800-pound farm pig was first spotted traipsing around Wake County, North Carolina, and he visited multiple neighborhoods between Knightdale and Wendell following his escape from an as of yet unidentified farm.
Locals posted videos of Thanos strutting across people's lawns on Facebook, and soon, the pig went viral.
