Will the Real Hogzilla Please Stand Up

May 29th, 2007 Wade

Emile sent me this story, and frankly I don’t know whether to believe it or not. The claim is that an 11 year old boy in Alabama killed a 1,050, 11 foot long wild boar. I know they can get pretty big from my days on the hog farm I worked at. But, seriously, wouldn’t someone have noticed this horse-sized pig walking around the woods?
It’s an AP story apparently, but the media has been fooled before. I’m on the fence, so you be the judge. Read about it here, and check out more pics of the beast at MonsterPig.com.

If anyone has any more info, comment here please.

Hogzillarific! I second your point about how this record breaking Hog went unnoticed in ‘Bama for so long.

Hogwash, I say. The pig looks a different size in every picture.

Word is out today that says this is fake. I guess some experts examined the photos and found indications of photoshop shenanigans.

It did seem that in one of the shots the boy looked like he was smaller than in another, making the boar look bigger.
