Cool National Geographic to the Rescue

The secret is out about Hogzilla. NG dug up the remains and had measurements and DNA tests performed. The hog measured about 8.5 feet long, just like the photo showed. The old boy swore when he measured it "ryte thar" it was 12 feet long. The experts estimated it weighed 800#. It was a big hog, but not as big as was claimed. Oh, the DNA showed it was a cross between a wild hog and a domestic one. Why they buried the thing instead of mounting the head (tusks were a full circle!) is still a question. He used a Browning auto to shoot it, caliber not mentioned.
