Look! Down on the ground, racing through the streets of Arizona! It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s a pig! It’s a boar!

It’s actually a javelina: resembling a large-ish hog to an amateur’s eye, but more accurately a salt-and-pepper-coated peccary. And boy, can it move.

The javelina in question (that’s javelina like have, the Spanish pronunciation, not like javelin) was filmed last week sprinting along the side of the road in Tucson, Ariz. As far as 12-second viral videos go, the clip was on par with the cinematic greats: It was Forrest Gump running through Alabama. It was Simba galloping home to take his place as the rightful king of Pride Rock. All that was missing was the “Chariots of Fire” theme song.
