For once, I think that might be real.

There are some awfully big gators around but 15 feet is rare, very rare.

Wonder how old that one is and how many head of cattle it consumed?

I got a gator that was just a whisker under 10 ft in Naples, FL once and I though that was a big lizard. I can hardly imagine one that is half again as large as the one I got!

He may be half again as long but I promise you he weighs well more than an additional 50%.

Yeah, I know that. For every extra foot in length they add a lot of weight.

I can immagine that croc could also be a predator of any hunter of fisherman that got too close.
