A giant pig weighing 20 stone is living in a house - after being bought as a micropig.
Francisco, a three-and-a-half year old Vietnamese potbellied cross, was falsely sold as a micropig, but had an Instagram account which caught the eye of a 15-year-old girl.
The teen begged her parents for the cute piglet and the family, from Glasgow, travelled down to England to buy him - but three months later he was given to an animal sanctuary.
But he now weighs 20 stone, twice the weight of a healthy adult, and is 1.2m long.
The giant hog is living in a three-bedroom house after getting used to creature comforts with his old owners.
Morag Sangster and husband John Ryan founded Tribe Sanctuary in Carluke, South Lanarkshire, and have four 'failed micropigs' in their care as well as more than 100 animals.
