who's to say the hog couldn't have had a genetic mutation that allowed it to get that big. After all, there have been a few FAT HUMANS that have gotten to be over 1000 lbs, i'm sure pigs could do the same. |

Looks like National Geographic will settle this once and for all. Check out the link

A small addition to this topic. The National Geographic Channel has evidently found where Hogzilla was buried and had forensic scientists take a look at the remains. What they found will be revealed in a program called Explorer. The documentary series will be airing in January.

I find the fact that this thread is one of the most-viewed on the forum as indicative of the mindset of too many folks out there these days... Science, war, politics, health, economics, environment, all pale in comparison to the great and powerful Hogzilla... Should I be swept away in the Hogzilla madness? Sorry, not me... I'm too busy fixating on who will win the next Amurrican I'mdull contest... Soooo-ey, here biggie piggy |

Either NGC or Discovery also did research on big cats on the loose in the UK. The idea was that people cut loose their big cats like pumas and leopards when the laws on keeping animals tightened. People claimed to have seen those big cats too. They got two Canadian trappers in. All they found was dog tracks and dog like maulings on sheep and other animals. No cats.
I'm sure Hogzilla won't be found either.
NGC will just get a good rating out of this. The fact that they're making a documentary about it, doesn't mean it is REAL. |

Yea, verily Paul. Just because it is on TV doesn't make it real. The "fair and balanced" Fox network aired a "documentary" that claims that the Apollo moon landers were a hoax (SFW):

sorry... I just figured if several thousand more people check out the Hogzilla thread, they may as well read about the really big pigs |

I'm sorry, I appologize for suggesting that the people at Fox News are like pigs... pigs are nicer and more intelligent |

Okay, that was uncalled for. "Brrrring..." "Hello? Could you say more bad things about Fox News?" Sure, now that it's been called for. Hogzilla and Fox News go into a bar, and the bartender says: "Sorry, we don't serve smelly carcasses that have been buried for weeks". "That's Okay", responds Hogzilla- "I had carcass for lunch, and these lying propagandists from Fox News look pretty well-fed, anyway". Ba-dum-bum |

I would have to say the pic is real. Every year in TX there are a few hogs, normally 2 or 3, killed that break the 1000 LBS. mark. There was also just one killed in Florida recently that made the 1100 LBS weight. The largest one I ever seen Killed was just over 700 and the largest I have taken personelly was 425. Just my .02 cents though. |

The pig was buried first and dug up for the photo op! It is possibly a hoax, but I relate it more to overestimation of length, girth and weight! I wild hog does not grow at 30 pounds per month! With premium feed a domestic which is genetically modified for explosive growth for profit reasons do grow at faster rates! One glance at the lower jaw will tell any hogger if it has any russian hog in the genetics! I think it is a BS story since even as an escaped domestic it would not have tusks "cutters" as once they are broken at a very young age they will not regenerate! Big pig yes! Real deal...NOT A CHANCE! |

Why hunt / kill / shoot something you're only going to bury anyway?
Do you have any idea how many BLT's they just buried... and how many starving people would have loved one???

I guess by now all you guys know this thing was real...or real enough. NGC estimated "Hogzilla" to be around 7 and 1/2 years old and a genetic cross of Hampshire and Wild Boar. They estimatied the weight to be 800lbs and the length to be 8 feet from snout to tail...however if you measured the distance from the tip of one hoove to the other Hogzilla would have easily been 12 feet long as the "legend" stated. |
