Are you serious?

This isn't like a manipulation? Just a few weeks ago, I saw a picture of a massive mastiff that turned out to be a photo manipulation. This is insane. I didn't think an organism can outgrow itself so much that its skeletal structure can still support all that flesh. I mean, people with gigantism are all skinny and frail because their growth plates weren't meant to stretch out like that.

I certainly hope so!

The ajc article is kind of dubios "if claims of the animals size are true..."etc. Plus, the figure behind it is a child, which makes it look even bigger. I think he's standing a good bit farther back in the shot than the pig, which also makes the pig look larger.

But still.

It looks a lot bigger than the 9 feet they claim it is. Even if the kid is kid-sized.
