BIG ASS GATOR

[vnmous04]

Found this on SVTP enjoy.

 

These pictures were taken by a helicopter flying over Lake Wiess about 90 miles north of Birmingham , Alabama ...

 

The helicopter pilot and the game warden were in communication via radio's here is a transcript of their conversation.

 

'Air1 have you a visual on the gator, over'

 

'Approaching inlet now, over'

 

'Roger Air1'

 

'Gator sighted.. Looks like it has a small animal in its mouth.. moving in, over'

 

'Roger Air1'

 

'Holy Crap it's a Deer!'

 

'Confirm Air1.. did you say Deer?, Over'

 

'Roger.. a Deer in its mouth.. looks like a full sized buck.. that's a big gator, we are going to need more men, Over'

 

'Roger Air1.. can you give me a idea on size of animal, over'

 

'Its big 25 feet at least, please advise Gator is heading to inlet.. do I pursue?, over'

That has to be a HUGE gator to have a whole deer in its mouth!

The deer was later found to be a mature Stag and was measured at 11 feet!

 

This alligator was found between Centre and Leesburg, Alabama, near a house! Game wardens were forced to shoot the alligator

Anita and Charlie Rogers could hear the bellowing in the night.

 

Their neighbors had been telling them that they had seen a mammoth alligator in the waterway that runs behind their house, but they dismissed the stories as exaggerations.

 

'I didn't believe it,' Charles Rogers said, but they realized the stories were, if anything, understated.

 

Alabama Parks and Wildlife game wardens had to shoot the beast.

 

Joe Goff, 6'5' tall, a game warden, walks past the 28 foot, 1 inch alligator 8.5 metres he shot and killed in their back yard.

Still want to move to the LAKE ???

Correction.

 

The first explanation was out, as KTBS said they haven't had a newscopter since their chopper crashed in 1990, and Leslie Johnson with the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries noted that the vegetation was all wrong and the water too clear to be Cross Lake. And officials with the Alabama Forestry Commission disclaimed the Lake Martin explanation:

Although the caption indicates that the alligator is in Lake Martin, officials at the Alabama Forestry Commission said that's not true.

 

"It's a legitimate photo, but it wasn't taken on Lake Martin," said Regina Miller, assistant to the state forestry commissioner. "It was taken in South Carolina, and I suppose someone thought it would be more interesting here if it was on Lake Martin, Alabama."

 

Jim Spradley, the pilot for the Tallapoosa County office of the state's forestry commission, said he too received the e-mail, but he was never fooled by the photo.

 

"I've got that e-mail myself, and as far as I know, I'm the only one who flies Lake Martin," he said. "I didn't take it."

In August 2004, the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (USFWS) finally cleared up the issue by issuing a press release identifying the photographs as having been taken in south Georgia (near the Georgia/South Carolina border) by a USFWS officer in March 2004:

The sight of a 12 to 14 foot-long alligator is something south Georgia folks see occasionally, but few have seen one take an adult deer out to lunch. Actually — for lunch.

 

The photographs of this deer-eating alligator were taken from the air by Terri Jenkins, a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service District Fire Management Officer. She was preparing to ignite a prescribed fire at Harris Neck National Wildlife Refuge, about 40 miles south of Savannah, Georgia, on March 4, 2004.

 

"One advantage of fire work is you get to see that 12-14 footers are common from Santee National Wildlife Refuge in South Carolina to Coastal South Carolina to Georgia’s coast," said Jenkins. "It looks like the alligator population is doing extremely well."

 

This one was at least 12-13 feet long. Jenkins said that some bull alligators have a 35 inch girth.

[Alex L.]

That gator would make for some very nice boots.

[bbboti]

[Benner]

So why'd it need shot, again?

[Mr. Jones]

When we were in SC, we went to the Gator/Croc farm there.

They have the largest Croc in captivity there. "UTAN"

He's 20'+ and you have to see it to believe it.... You want to think it is a prank until he moves, and holy shit.

To show Mother Nature what for. Pssssh ... thought that was obvious.

So tell me an alligator tale. I have been wanting to hear a good story lately.

Once upon a time there was an alligator. It was lazy as fuck and ate everything. The end.

I got that beat.

 

Many years ago there was an Alligator name Alvin, he lived peacefully in a swamp in Texas. Alvin obeyed the laws of the wild. He knew he had to hunt to live, and he knew that his prey had to escape him to live. This bred a mutual respect between Alvin and his would be adversaries. The laws of the wild were just one of many virtues Alvin's parents had instilled in him.

 

Alvin's father was a massive alligator, respected all through the swamp. His legacy extended for millions of years through time, and even though it could not be directly traced for more than three generations, the sheer size and will of the reptile were more than enough proof that Alvin's lineage was of a noble path.

 

Alvin's monthly feedings generally consisted of one or more large forest-dwelling mammals. They would come down to the waters edge to quench their thirsts of the dry, scorching Texas sun. Here is where our protagonist would meet his worthy opponents. Alvin being of a noble bloodline, and having a sense of honor and dignity, never preyed on the young, or sick. No ... his father wanted him strong, commanding, able to take down the most vigorous rival that should come to call, with five thousand pounds per inch of bone-splintering force. This kept the gator sharp, and ensured the meat he ingested was healthy, better to promote his proud, family genealogy.

 

Then some dickhead shot him in the face.

 

THE END

[Alex L.]

Jesus Christ, how much thought do you put into that?

[DSM1290]

isnt it great being on the top of the food chain. we get to eat so many tasty animals....

[ImUrOBGYN]

The are no officially documented cases of gators being over 20ft. The record holder in Florida is about 15ft maybe even a little less. The gator in that pic was originally 13ft. Even the American Crocodile is not known to reach over 20ft.

 

Does that mean there aren't giants? Hell no. They never stop growing like fish. They live a long time. There's a lotta swamp out there...

 

Is this story a true one about a giant? Hell, no.
