EUFAULA, Ala. - Authorities say an alligator pulled from a lake in southeast Alabama weighs an estimated 920 pounds.
AL.com reports that the 13-foot, 6-inch gator was captured in Lake Eufaula on Aug. 14.
Last year, a 15-foot and 9-inch gator weighing 1,011.5 pounds was caught in Meek Creek, a tributary of the Alabama River. About 115 pounds of that gator was a deer in the gator’s stomach.
Perhaps we could put the gator to good use:
Suggest redeploying it to the Rio Grande.
Wat da hell it dat ding?
Just drove through there a few days ago
Trucks with advertising on side for Alligator extermination services
Fishing on that lake should be better in the future. Big guy Gator has been eating all the fish.
Wasn’t there just a 920 lb lady in the news also?
That ... thing ... is from outer space.
“Wasn’t there just a 920 lb lady in the news also?”
She was much lighter...800 pounds.
IIRC, the 900lb+ woman was removed from a 5th Avenue abode.
We’re going to have to get a bigger boat!
I don’t know how that translates.
Going by the article, it says 800lbs.
He must have migrated from Florida...!
We don’t have them in Maine, just Moose.
I remember stopping by the Okefenokee Swamp park on my way to Florida a few years ago. We didn’t have time for the tour, I just wanted my wife to see the 13 foot gator I had seen on a previous visit. I asked the ranger if it would be possible to see it. She said: “Sure! She’s right over there.” I looked, and about 100 feet away lay the behemoth, basking in the sun. Nothing in between us. I did gasp a bit, and the ranger explained they do keep her well fed, so there was no need to worry. She also advised that we should not walk over there for a closer look.
Probably escaped from the bait bucket on his way to Louisiana ;-)
Yeah with Yankee tourists. Just one or two a day.
No...it says 8080 lbs.
What they know that you don’t is that the tractor weighs 7160 lbs.
