is this true? it is larger than hogzilla which was featured in nat geo.

dapat ganito ang alagaan natin para madami ang makukuha na meat hehehe

[oldblue]

baka naman tao na din kinakain nyan sa laki nyan

[fearless]

ano ba nakakain diyan sa alabama at ganyang kalalaki ang mga hogs sa kanila?

hanep hog pa ba yan, mukhang may lahi atang dinosaur yan and ang tapang nung batang 11 year old, to kill a hog that size,wow,kahit sino tanungin mo pag nakita yan malamang tumakbo ang initial reaction, eh.

What's even more amazing is the gun he used... S&W .50 caliber revolver... he fired nine shots in all... eight of them before the pig ran off, and one to finish it off. I'm surprised he didn't sprain his wrists...

That gun is humongous... was looking at it in the gun store, but I don't have the cash for it... it costs over 100k pesos here... and the bullets are 50 pesos each! For dumdums!

Dito naman ako natawa sa negative comments na to na puro censored, hi hi hi! http://www.monsterpig.com/negative_comments.htm

its not pure wild boar. maybe crossed with other domesticated breed. (hampshire, duroc or may largewhite.) IMHO

[LexTer]

pinalabas din to kagabi yata yun or nung isang gabi sa 24 oras. sabi ni mike enriquez mas malaki daw kay hogzilla.

[larshell]

Sobrang laki nito parang hindi totoo.

[shadow]

tingin ko hinde totoo...kung totoo siguro dapat pinuntahan na ng mga scientist etc, for the DNA....kung yun orignal hogzilla eh hinukay pa para lang mapagaralan ito fresh pa wala mang lang pumunta...

[miLes]

niky's right that .50 caliber revolver will surely give a kick and the kid was able to fire 9 shots?!?!

[ogpro]

Turns out his name is FRED

Not shocking. In a report on Hogzilla, animal breeders noted that wild hogs don't grow quite so large... only way to make a pig that big ( ) is to either crossbreed a feral hog with a domestic, or turn a domestic feral.

cyrus is probably on the same industry as mine (you know your pig breeds).... my hunch is that is a black duroc. a 3 y.o. pure duroc will be about half that and a 5 y.o. is about 3/4th that size. my speculation is that mosterpig is about 7 to 10 years old na. probably nakatakas siya or pinakawalan sa wild when it was a bit old.

wild boars generally have longer head than body (in terms of body proportion) asside from the fact that they seldom grow very big... due to lack of balance diet in the wild... they are not generally carnivorous... they eat gurbs (as what Phumba eats). and at that size, how can they hunt "meat".

the teeth are also smaller than expected... at that size and possible age, dapat yan ay curled na. i have seen domesticated pigs that have similar shape teeth even if it was cut/trimmed at birth.

I'd hate to hit a pig that size with my car. It's like trying to kick a bowling ball with your bare foot.

From what I gather, a domesticated pig has no problems reverting back to a wild pig. They're smart animals and can live on just about anything.

Good thing the kid brought it down. I'd hate to encounter a mama pig that size with a bunch of piglets. I can only imagine its rage. I'd be running like hell and finding a strong enough tree to climb.

Add: Oh. My uncle has an original full-sized Desert Eagle. Although he's a shorter guy than me, he has no problems emptying the magazine on a target. He looks funny with it though. We call him Yosemite Sam behind his back.

Mmmm. good idea for a sig....
