Is it real or Photoshop? That’s exactly what I thought at first too.

But, as it turns out, it is real. A bunch of gator hunters in Florida, United States have caught this mammoth alligator while it was approaching its supper, some cattle on private property.

The photo of the giant gator went viral after it was posted on Outwest Farms Facebook page. According to the group, the gator is estimated to be “just under 15 feet”. The the state’s fish and wildlife commission has confirmed that the gator weighed 780 pounds (around 354 kg).

Killing animals is wrong. But I don’t see how these guys could’ve captured this giant thing alive. I’ve seen Lake Placid and it wasn’t pretty.

By the way, in case you were wondering, that’s my house on the left.
