Did anybody catch this on TV last night?
I can't tell you how many emails I got of this hog when it first came out, but it was allot!! They said it was a wild hog that weighed 1,000 pounds and was 12 feet long.
National Geographic had some scientist dig it up and examine it to see if it was for real, and if so, how it managed to get so large.
I have allot of wild hogs on my land. It's something that we enjoy for the hunting, but hate for the damage the do to the fields.
The show also explained all about wild hogs in the United States. How they go wild, what the differences are between wild and domestic along with their behavior. I was interested in it from the picture in the emails I'd received but didn't think Steph would be. Turned out to be a facinating show that we both enjoyed, along with allot of good information in it. Not one thing in it that I thought was bogus, which is very rare in most shows I watch. Not that I know very much, but sometimes they really get it wrong or go political. Not this time.
The scientist determined that Hogzilla was only 8 feet long and closer to 800 pounds. The picture is more than likely accurate with little to no modifications. Except for a little exagerating on the size, the whole story is probably true.
The guy who owns the land Hogzilla was killed on has a fish farm. He's come up with a fish food to maximize fish growth with this super feed. They think Hogzilla was eating this super fish food, which helped him reach his extreme size.
They also did a DNA test on him and were able to determine he was half wild and half domestic. It seems this combination creates larger animals than your normal wild boar.
Like I said, it was very interesting and I wanted to let those of you know about the show, especially if you have hogs on your land.

, but I don't think this one's any bigger than the one Stephanie shot. What do you think?
