What the fuck is that? Do you guys know the Hayao Miyazaki movie "Princess Mononoke"? This pictures reminds me of it...in a certain strange way.
Exactly my thought! One of my favemovies btw.
I recently saw a show about Feral Hogs and the problem they have become in the US - I found it so interesting I did a bit of research and found they really are a huge issue in some areas. The do over 50 million dollars in damage a year to farmlands in the US. Feral hogs that size are extremely rare as most run between 100 - 400 lbs, but some just get damned big over time. Wild Boars were introduced into the US (Texas) from Russia in the 1890's and have exploded in population over the years - I read that Texas now has over 2 million (yes - million) feral hogs alone and there are over 4 million in the states alone. Plus I thought this fact is a bit freakish - a female swine over her 7 - 8 year life span can produce upwards of 1000 feral piglets over that period of time - talk about getting busy!
I'd run like hell if I stumbled upon a pig that freaking big - they are damned scary bastards.

An issue not been picked up yet... is the boy in the second pic holding a blaster?
they're real, but the pigs look way bigger due to the perspective.
My brother is into this kind of things (unknown animals, wrote 2 books about it
and builts mockups for museums and so on) and these pigs are a mix
of really big cultured pigs and wild pigs as far as I know, they're
up to 450-500kg.
In a zoo here, they got some cultured animals as well and there's a pig that weights
around 300kg, it's fucking huge, and there are way bigger pigs, just search for
Ton Pig or Big Bill, Ton Pig died 2004 and weighed around 900kg, Big Bill still holds the
world record he weighed around 1150kg.
