Hogzilla is a giant pig who was shot and killed by a hunter named Chris Griffin in Alapaha, Georgia on Ken Holyoak's fish farm and hunting reserve. It was a male hybrid of a wild hog and domestic pig. Reported to be over 12 feet long and weighing over 1000 pounds it was originally considered a hoax. In March 2005, it was revealed that it was only 800 pounds and was between 6.9 and 8.6 feet long, but nevertheless, is still a monster subject. There is also another big pig known as Fred who was shot and killed by a 12 year old boy named Jamison Stone on a game reserve that according to hunters, weighed 1051 pounds and was 9.4 feet long. The true dimensions are disputed. The boy used a Smith and Wesson Model 500 50 caliber revolver and shot it 9 times before killing him with a headshot.
