I love teh Internets. Seriously, where else would you find a list of pigs that weigh over 1000 pounds? Apparently it's quite common! With names like "Hogzilla", "Monster Pig", "Hog Kong", and "Ton Pig", these tasty treats topple the scales naturally and unnaturally. Some wild, some farmed, either way, they'd take one heck of a spit roaster to cook em up!

Monster Pig is the name of a large hog killed on May 3, 2007, by an eleven year-old boy, Jamison Stone in a 150-acre (0.61 km²) low fence enclosure within the larger 2,500 acre (10 km²) commercial hunting preserve called Lost Creek Plantation, outside Anniston, Alabama. According to the hunters (there were no independent witnesses) the pig weighed 1,051 lb (477 kg). Claims of the authenticity and allegations of the kill being a canned hunt have disputed the claim.
