WHAT WEIGHS OVER 1000 LBS.
IS 20 FT. LONG, AND HAS TEETH?
A humongous rogue alligator has been captured in a Texas lake. It now lives in a gator refuge
Dateline Beaumont, Texas – The owner of a Texas ‘gator rescue’ said he has caught a record-setting alligator in a local lake. The humongous reptile weighed in at over 900 pounds and from head to tail measured 13 feet 8 inches in length.
Gary Saurage and his crew from the Gator County Rescue Centre were on a call for a nuisance gator when this huge monster showed up. Gary says that this gator is the ‘pinnacle’ of his career. Well done Gary!
Nuisance gators kill wildlife, stock, and people when given the chance. After a gator gets to be of a certain size it becomes a threat to not only surrounding wildlife but other gators as well. Alligators hold a special place in our ecosystem, but when they reach the 900 pound class that changes. Anyway, this gator can be seen at the wildlife refuge where it’s free to keep on eating and keep on growing.
American alligators live up to 50 years in the wild and longer when in captivity. They can reach lengths of 20 feet and weigh over half a ton, so this one promises to be an attraction for a long time.
