Well, Snopes already has the scoop.

It is still a big one, possibly even record-setting, but instead of 12 feet long, it is 7.5 feet.

did you mean the guy in the boots vs the two babes?

In guy vs babes babes win. Guys are known to roll over and play dead for a pretty girl. For two of them? Stick a fork in him.

TRUE STORY of BIG PIG

Over 40 years ago, one of my after school chores was feeding the steers out in the feedlot. Since I was fairly small (about 9 yrs old, approx 4'6"T and 75#) I was always glad that the feedbunks were lined up end to end, perpendicular to the fence, and the first one against said fence. That way I could take buckets of corn from a wagon on the other side of the fence and walk in the bunks pouring the corn as I went, with little chance of getting knocked down by aggressive eaters.

I'll always remember the sight of an old boar coming up to the bunk, squeezing inbetween the steers, that were approx. 600 lbs., to "help himself" to the feed. His back was just as high as the steers backs. My dad had kept him around just to see how big he would get. It's just one of numerous farm memories that I smile about when reminded of them.

In the pic, the man appears to be holding the right front hoof, to keep the boar from turning while hanging from the single rope. The shadows seem ok. So it doesn't appear to be a trick, depth perception photo.

And since Hogzilla was a male, there may be more Hogzillas out there...
