WATCH: These Cows Adopting A Random Bush Pig Is The Great ‘Strayan Story


There’s a case to be made for adding the whole “pig becomes mates with some other random species, wins humans over” storyline to the pantheon of go-to Aussie legends. Seriously. There is absolutely nothing on the planet that satisfies us like animal odd-couples do.

Obviously Babe started it all, but George Miller’s magnum opus now has an IRL counterpart in Crackles. The hog from whereabouts unknown is also known as Ham, or, yes, just Pig, and he wandered into Mandurah resident Ray Grantham’s paddock eight months ago. Fortunately for the rest of the nation, a video of his red-hot escapades has just dropped.

In those eight months, Crackles became buds with Grantham’s other livestock. He said after one of his cows lost its calf, she even took Crackles on as her own.
 
“It’s unbelievable; I’ve never seen anything like it… I’ve told other farmers and they’re amazed,” Grantham said. And that’s the best part, honestly: any haphazard, random combination of animals inexplicably getting along is just the shit. 

That’s all well and good of course, but his daughter managed to describe her pa’s porky pal as “pretty ugly.”

DON’T LISTEN TO HER, CRACKLES. WE STILL LOVE YOU.
