A portly little pig who is a resident of a wildlife park somehow managed to squeeze its way into a pen holding at least six lion cubs it was a bit of shock to both species. 

The cubs in the park in Nantong, East China's Jiangsu Province immediately corner the pig, which appear to trigger a flight response. The little piggy bolts ten meters to the other side to pen, bulldozing one of the cubs with its snout.

The cub that was flipped over on its back runs to the corner of the pen and attempts to climb the short wooden picket fence, shows a video apparently shot by a guest at the park and posted my numerous social media video platforms on Sina Weibo.

A young handler comes to the rescue of both the pig and the cub, and is seen in the video lifting the young escape-artist cub off the fence and back into the pen. 

"Don't you know how much I'm worth these days?" asked a netizen, referring to the rising cost of pork in China.  "How did you manage to bully a bunch of demon lion cubs?" was another comment.
