Prize pig

Posted by Bernard Cleary on August 15, 2009 at 12:20am

This pig weighed 807 (Taiwan) catties, which, if my math is correct, is around 484 kg, or 1,065 lbs. When it was alive, that is. Here, I think they've somehow inflated the skin to show how big it was, and presented it as tribute in a very fancy decorated sedan chair of sorts, as tribute to the temple.
