National Geographic confirms--HOGZILLA is REAL!!!
http://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/custom/fringe/sfl-321hogzilla,0,4809739.story?coll=sfla-news-fringe

ALAPAHA, Ga. -- Residents of this south Georgia town breathed a collective sigh of vindication Monday after a National Geographic documentary confirmed that their legendary super swine Hogzilla was indeed real, and really, really big.


While a team of National Geographic experts found that the hog caught on a nearby farm last summer was no hoax, they said it didn't quite live up to the 1,000-pound, 12-foot hype that was trumpeted around the world with a photo of the beast hanging from a backhoe.

The experts, who donned biohazard suits and exhumed the behemoth's smelly remains, estimated that Hogzilla was probably only 7½ to 8 feet long and weighed about 800 pounds. Still, that's a mighty big hog.



The documentary left open the possibility that some of Hogzilla's offspring may be getting fat in the cypress swamps near Alapaha, but it could be years before there's another a legendary hog like the one buried beneath a white cross on Holyoak's farm.
