He is believed to be the world’s tallest pig, but we don’t know for sure. The owner of Macon is Bob Peterson of Hubbardsville, Wisconsin. Macon is actually a cross between a Yorkshire hog and a Polish hog, and it is only three years old.

If you’re curious about the largest pig in the world, you’ve come to the right place. Big Bill is a Polish-China breed that was raised in the town of Vernon Center, Ohio.

He was nearly 9 feet long and weighed over two thousand pounds. He grew from 400 pounds to 1450 pounds and measured over 100 inches from nose to tail. It was also nearly five feet tall from shoulder to hoof. Big Bill is no longer alive but his story is a fascinating one.

Kubanochoerus gigas lived around 15 million years ago and inhabited a large area of Eurasia. The pig was about one and a half meters high at the shoulder and was possibly 500 kg (1,200 lbs) in weight. It was slightly larger than the giant forest hog we know today.

It was also known to have horns – a small pair above its eyes and a large forward-pointing horn on its forehead.

Tamworth pigs are a medium-sized breed of pig. They typically weigh between 250 and 370 kg, which is about 440 to 660 pounds. Adult Tamworths have a length of 100 to 140 cm and a height of 20 to 26 inches.

Their tails are about 24 to 30 cm long and about nine to twelve inches wide. They have a deep chest, narrow back, and muscular ham structures. These traits make Tamworths very good for producing high-quality bacon and pork.

Forest hogs live in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. They reproduce year-round, with a peak birth season in January-March and July-September. During the breeding season, expectant females isolate themselves and build a large nest, which can measure up to 4 m in length and 1.5 m in width.

The mother and calf emerge from the nest less than one week later. While these animals look similar to domestic pigs, they have different behaviors and personalities.
