If this hog from Russia is real, then it’s time to believe in monsters.
Recent pictures of a wild boar, we are affectionately calling King Kong Hog, has started spreading over the Internet like wildfire. If these pictures and story are real, then this hog from Russia is one of the largest wild boars ever shot on the planet.
Peter Maximov, a pig hunter from Chelyabinsk, Russia was hunting out of a tower near a favorite hog spot in the the Ussuriland, when a boar of epic proportions stepped out in front of him.
One shot later, Maximov reported that the hog, seemingly unfazed, ran off into the forest. After realizing how big the boar was that he just shot, Maximov was too scared to track it by himself so he called a local forest ranger to help.
Some time later, both men were able to find a blood trail and eventually track the boar to a place where it was bedded down, but still alive. Maximov then fired again, which enraged the hog and sent it into a full charge at both men. Quickly, a third shot was fired that finally brought down King Kong Hog.
Both men together couldn’t move the pig so they tied it to Maximov’s truck and drove it into the nearby village of Shokurov. From there, it was weighed out to an incredible 1,179 pounds! However, that’s not all. The shoulder height measured out to five and half feet of pure giant hog.
For comparison, Hogzilla, the giant pig from Georgia that made rounds back in 2004, weighed in at only 794 pounds and had a shoulder height of three feet, three inches.
As you can see, this hog from Russia is huge.
