A weird alligator bigger than a human being has been killed in America with the world doubting its size.
Talk about a big catch! This massive alligator was recently tracked down by hunters at Outwest Farms in Okeechobee, Florida.
Outwest Farms owner Lee Lightsey, along with his son Mason, his guide Blake Godwin and two hunters discovered the creature Saturday at one of the ponds on their private ranch.
"We were on a hunt for hogs and happened to come across the gator. There are natural ponds and waterways around for the cows to drink," Godwin told CNN.
"There are lots of gators out there," Lightsey told CNN. "It's the start of mating season. This was a big one."
A big one indeed, the animal weighed in at 780 pounds, according to Lightsey. His son Mason told a correspondent. He estimated it was "almost probably close to 15 feet."
Lightsey told CNN he isn't concerned over records. "It's just fun to see a great day for the hunters, the big ones like that are exciting for the hunters."
Nine-year-old Mason said this wasn't his first hunting trip, and it was "not scary at all" to hunt such a huge animal. He even posed next to the animal that was hoisted above the ground by a tractor's loader. The picture posted on Outwest Farms Facebook page has been shared over 4,000 times.
