ATLANTA - Calling all swamp monster enthusiasts, legend debunkers and lurking Photoshop experts. Today's question: Is Hogzilla for real?

The truth behind Georgia's legendary half-ton of tusked, rampaging pork will be answered definitively Sunday on the National Geographic Channel's Explorer: Hogzilla

We've debated this slab of bacon on a number of occassions. Personally I believe it to be farm escapee. Just look at it. It's a big hog no doubt, but it's not a wild hog by birth IMHO.

I agree. That hog looks way too much like a big domestic boar hog.

Yeah, not enough shoulder and too much ham. And let's not even talk about that strange color!
