A lost pig is looking for its family after it was found wandering near the Bruce Highway north of Brisbane yesterday.

Police were called to the Bruce Highway at Elimbah at 2.33pm on Sunday after reports a pig was on or near the highway.

Believed to be a domesticated pig or farm animal, a Queensland Police spokesman said the concern was that the pig was "so close to the highway it was likely to cause a traffic accident."

Police took to social media to find the animal's owner.

"Serious chat time - this little fella has obviously escaped a Mother's Day sowprize party & was found livin life on the hog beside the Bruce Hwy Elimbah yesterday," they wrote.

"We're not swining but he won't squeal, so if he's yours, please let us know."

The pig is believed to be a missing farm animal.
