Watch a wild boar fall through a mall ceiling, attack mannequins


Here's the setup: On Sunday night, a 55-pound wild boar wandered into Hong Kong's Paradise Mall, eventually made its way above the ceiling of a children's clothing shop, fell through the ceiling, and then rampaged around until a vet shot it with a tranquilizer dart. "It just came in out of nowhere, and turned around at the show window," the manager of the store, Kingkow, told the South China Morning Post. "It also pushed open the fitting room door and got in... Pigs are actually not stupid."
They are, however, aggressive when cornered and scared. Imagine what was going through the boar's head when it was knocking down and biting the child mannequins. BBC News has the video. —Peter Weber
