Wow, reminds me of the huge wild pigs from Princess Mononoke...

I'm pretty sure the pig is real but the link between this pig and this kid, and the relative size, is made up.

The original "Hogzillia" is probably real, but exaggerated in size.

What amazes me is that everyone seems to think it is normal that when an individual animal that appears to be the largest of its kind every seen ever, anywhere, by anyone, the thing to do is to blast it with a rifle.
