February 18, 200917 yr Awww...it's so sad to see such a magnificint creature strung up like that. :cry: I feel the exact same way!
February 18, 200917 yr The pictures are real but the text is erroneous. According to Snopes.com, the picture was taken on the South Carolina/Georgia border and the gator is 12-13 feet.Look at the pictures of the officer compared to the gator. When stretched out I'd say it's at least 3 of the officer...so I'd give it 18 feet at a minimum.
February 18, 200917 yr Awww...it's so sad to see such a magnificint creature strung up like that. :cry:I agree, it's a shame that it had to come to that and they couldn't capture it and take it somewhere away from children. OR at the very least, the useful parts of the alligator shouldn't go to waste and I would imagine that they whole carcass will. It's better strung up then killing a todler. We can't go killing everything that is potentially dangerous. We won't have much left.
February 18, 200917 yr Sheriff Hank Keough: I... I... I never heard of a crocodile crossing an ocean. Hector Cyr: Well, they conceal information like that in books. Mrs. Bickerman: I'm rooting for the crocodile. I hope he swallows your friends whole. You might want to arrest me for that too. Is that a crime? To wish the chewing of law enforcement?
February 18, 200917 yr If you extend out the tail and everything, that thing is way bigger than 12 or 13 feet. The picture of the gator hanging up is not one that was confirmed by Snopes. It dealt with the pictures of the gator swimmming with the deer in its jaws. There is no report of the gator being caught. I think the photo of the gator after being caught is doctored. I first saw this a few years ago when somebody had altered it to state that it was caught in Lake Cumberland.

I first saw this a few years ago when somebody had altered it to state that it was caught in Lake Cumberland. To me it looks like the head of the gator (in the picture of him strung up) is too large for the body.
February 18, 200917 yr The pictures are real but the text is erroneous. According to Snopes.com, the picture was taken on the South Carolina/Georgia border and the gator is 12-13 feet. If that man is 6'5", then that gator is bigger than 12-13'.
February 18, 200917 yr If that man is 6'5", then that gator is bigger than 12-13'. Again, Snopes didn't confirm THAT picture. It confirmed the pictures of the deer in the gator's jaws. It is my contention that the "strung-up" picture is doctored.
February 18, 200917 yr SIZE Female alligators rarely exceed 9 feet in length, but males can grow much larger. The Florida state record for length is a 14 foot 5/8 inch male from Lake Monroe in Seminole County. The Florida record for weight is a 1,043 pound (13 feet 10 1/2 inches long) male from Orange Lake in Alachua County. Alligator Facts. A 25 foot alligator would have been BIG news (pun intended), since that would be nearly twice as long as the Florida state record.
