Think he hunted it, or did he score a roadkill/wounded/sick one?

This was taken by a KTBS helicopter flying over Cross Lake! (For those
of you who are not local, Cross Lake is in Shreveport, La.) That has to be
a HUGE gator to have a whole deer in its mouth! Are you ready to go
skiing on Cross Lake?! If you ski at the west end of the lake -- try not to fall.

I'm not saying you're wrong, because somewhere there is a true story, but this photo has been floating around the internet for quite awhile. There's been claims it was a crocadile in Africa, a crocadile in Australia, a camen in South America, an alligator in every southern state in the US. Who knows what else!

I heard that the photographs were taken in Central Park and that the aligator had been living in the New York sewers for decades .

Being a lifelong reptile nut, I can say it is an American Alligator, a right large one. Have seen a few (very few) that size on the St. Johns in Florida. They are ambush hunters, taking deer and hogs not at all uncommon.
That's a hell of a specimen.
