National Geographic debunks photo of giant pig, tiny man
A National Geographic Channel special last week debunked reports of a gigantic pig, dubbed Hogzilla by the bacon lovers worldwide. The enormous pig became an Internet phenomenon last year when a photograph circulated of its allegedly 12-foot-long, 1000-pound carcass dangling from a backhoe while a smiling man stood in the background like some kind of inland pig-fisherman. Chris Griffin, who shot and killed Hogzilla on a South Georgia farm, claimed to have buried the mutant pig's body because "I'd already had a big lunch and it probably would have tasted too gamey anyway." With no physical evidence remaining, skeptics charged that the famous picture was photoshopped
For the TV special, a team of scientists exhumed the porcine cadaver and measured it with calipers, spectrometers, radio telescopes, and other sciency-sounding instruments. A DNA test was also conducted to rule out any possibility that Hogzilla was related to "Fat Actress" star Kirstie Alley
After an exhaustive investigation, the National Geographic scientists announced to the world that Hogzilla was a genuine wild hog, but somewhat smaller than originally reported. "The photo wasn't digitally altered but it does employ misleading perspective," said Nancy Donnelly, a National Geographic producer. "Hogzilla was only two inches long and weighed less than four ounces. Far from being the largest adult wild boar ever found, he was actually the smallest. Hogzilla looked so big only because Chris Griffin himself stands one inch tall and owns what we believe to be the world's smallest working backhoe."
Added Donnelly: "The folks at Guinness are coming to verify the tiny pig, man, and excavator, but to be honest we've misplaced them all somewhere in our lab."
