ALAPAHA, Ga. - A team of National Geographic experts has confirmed south Georgia's monster hog, known to locals as Hogzilla, was indeed real — and really, really big.

They also noted the super swine didn't quite live up to the 1,000-pound, 12-foot hype generated when Hogzilla was caught on a farm last summer and photographed hanging from a backhoe.

Donning biohazard suits to exhume the behemoth's smelly remains, the experts estimated Hogzilla was probably only 7 1/2 to 8 feet long, and weighed about 800 pounds. The confirmation came in a documentary aired Sunday night on the National Geographic Channel; it will be rebroadcast Wednesday and Saturday.
Hogzilla

A tusk 18 inches long My God that could do some damage. I was watching a nature show and it had a lion trying to catch a tiny boar, perhaps 20 lbs. The boar with its tiny tusk slice nearly the whole of the lions rear leg very deep. I couldnt believe it did so much damage. It gave me a new found respect for wild pigs even tiny ones.

That thing would be a monster.

I heard some people even hunt smaller ones with only a knife down south They must be crazy.
