pigs can run faster than a human.
I grew up on a farm. For showing bravery, for us ten-year-olds, we could run across Mr McKee's large pig pen. Mostly clear hard clay. About 50 feet. Hopefully not waking up his prize boar. One night my good friend decided to run. I held a flashlight on him from the sideline. So he could see where to run.
As it was, Lanny was about half-way across and the boar woke up and charged Lanny. Could not know what to do. I yelled, the pig looked in my direction. I was safe behind the wall of the pen. But he looked around and saw Lanny spotlighted and frozen in fear.
I knew Lanny could not outrun the pig, so I yelled at the pig and told Lanny to run. The pig looked at me, then at Lanny. I told Lanny again to run and turned off the flashlight.
The pig couldn't see Lanny, unfortunately Lanny could not see the pig. It was a pitch black night. Lanny ran in the darkness until he felt the other side of the pen wall, jumped over!
Lanny cursed me at first, but he began to understand it was the best idea at the time. If I held the flashlight for him to see, but the pig would have caught him. We never played pig time again!
To be young again! I bet a wild pig is even faster. I saw a video of a black bear climbing into a pig pen once. He didn't stay long.
