Hogzilla

People who don't believe in Hogzilla have obviously never been to the hog barns during the Illinois State Fair. Every year (or so it used to be when I was a kid, anyway), there was a contest for largest boar. Many of them were the size of this boar in the picture from the NYT article. From the pic, it looks like that boar was probably farm-raised to get that size, and is most likely a Duroc. I suppose that it could have escaped from its farm, and the man killed it when he saw it wandering around.

I can't believe the National Geographic channel sent scientists to investigate. I wonder what conclusions they will draw.
