A tusked and hairy hog the size of a pick-up truck hangs by its hind hooves from the up-stretched arm of a backhoe dwarfing the proud man standing next to his prize. This was the photo that sparked fear, disbelief and controversy around the world in 2004. The beast was a 12-foot-long, 1,000-pound feral hog according to the man in the picture, hunting guide Chris Griffin, who said he killed it one morning in a swampy Georgia forest. He named it Hogzilla, and the legend of the enormous pig quickly spread via the Internet. But it didn t take long for skeptics to surface. How could a pig living on its own in the wilderness grow to be that large? Was it a hoax? Trek into the very forest where Hogzilla was shot and hear from Griffin about his frightening encounter. Then, join a team of experts as they employ the latest in science and technology to unravel the mystery of this massive monster. What did Griffin really find? Was it a wild boar, an escaped domesticated pig or some kind of strange hybrid? And, how big was it really? Will Hogzilla live up to his name?
