Sorry dude but u got the length wrong on that alligator... I got the e-mail about a week ago and it said it was 28 feet and 1 inch.

Wow. 28 feet long, huh?

Forget the gator. I did a rough estimate comparing the deer to the alligator. Putting the gator at 28' makes the deer about 19' from the neck to the tail.
That's longer than a moose

As posted, the length actually was between 12 and 14 feet.

In reading more i've seen that they had a skull and after measuring it, it was "only" 15.7 ft.
The biggest know croc alive is called gustav and he is pretty big!




This one is better but i can't make a video link to it go there



Cheers

Actually the report goes on to say that it was actually 16 feet or so.
But i know they get sometimes to 25-23 feet..
in any matter that first photo of the aligator id great ..His frikkin head is huge, easily the size of that deer

And as far as great White vs Croc, it would have to be in deep water thus giving the Great white a huge advantage as they ambush from below, I dont think the croc would know what hit him

actually there does exist a giant croc. they made a horrible movie about him in 2007 called Primevil. it exists in africa.

That gator is huge,but no way it is 23 feet long.Maybe fifteen at the max!dulcebase

Here's the explanation on Snopes.com

There's been some conflicting explanations for the pictures in the OP.

Snopes attempts to track down the truth. Apparently the location shifted from TX to FL to GA depending on where the email was being sent out.

Is this a creature? Or a thing?
