Hogzilla, has been shown to be a hoax, I saw the show about it on the discovery channel. They dug the grave up where the remains were buried and showed that he was indeed a large wild hog, but no where near the claims made by the man that shot him. The photos were done by trick photography, with the body of ho9g in foreground and the Hunter in background far way, but the camera angled so to made it appear he was right behind the hog.

Sorry to blow your story Jennifer.

I have been looking at all the news clips on the net and they all mention the "hogzilla" find by National Geographic but not the fact that it turned out to be a hoax, but only that the size was exaggerated by 200lbs? Where does the truth start and where does it end?

Hogzilla originally was thought to weigh 1,000 pounds and measure 12 feet long. National Geographic experts who unearthed its remains believe the animal actually weighed about 800 pounds and was 8 feet long.

this pig is bigger

This one is for real, the Kid shot it 8 times with a .500 pistol, trsacked it for 3 hours and then gave it the coup de grace. just short of 10 ft long, 11" from eyes to tip of the snout! Huge! The Top picture is of a std size feral hog, The Bow might give you an idea since the young man had to shoot the latest one 9 times. (With an EXTREMELY powerful handgun)
