An 11-year-old boy in Alabama shot a monstrously large wild hog. It's an AP story, so I am guessing this astonishing photo is legit. Link

Just to put in my two cent's worth, something about that hog photo isn't right. I'm not saying it has been doctored, but i suspect the kid is standing further behind the hog than is readily apparent. The article says the measurement around the hog's head is 56 inches. Half that would be 28 inches (a normal small human waist measurement) and the kid in the photo probably has at LEAST that waist measurement (if not MORE) but the hog head in the photo looks to be 3 or 4 times that measurement size when you compare the two (kid and hog). Seriously. PLUS, the hog in that photo looks to be the size of a goddamned RHINO, and your average rhino weighs about 5000 lbs (the hog in the photo weighs approx. 1/5th that, just over 1000 lbs) so again, something isn't right with the pic IMO. Thanks!

More pictures of the hog that are a bit more realistic. The hog definitely is not as impressive as the original news photo. Link
