This little piggy looks like he might be in trouble. He's lost in a flooded forest and appears stuck on a fallen tree as the waters rise around him. But don't worry, pigs can swim :)

I actually had no idea that pigs could swim until I one day visited a now defunct amusement park in San Marcos, Texas called Aquarena Springs. They featured a 'Swine Diving' Pig named Ralph that could indeed swim. The park closed and the area is now a research center for Texas State University.

Note: This image uses purchased content. The pig was posed in poser 6 then imported into vue 9 where the rest of the scene was built. Final rendering was done in Vue 9 and took about 2 days on an Intel I5 2.8 GHz with 8 GB of RAM. Post production was done in GIMP.

What's this?  A 'log hog'?  Sorry, had to say it.
