An alligator the size of many cars in the United States has been captured and killed in Mississippi, and officials say it was so massive that it broke the previous state record.
"He measured 14 feet and 3 inches long, with a belly girth of 66 inches and tail girth of 46.5 inches," officials said."He weighed 802.5 lbs!" "Congrats to Don, Joey, Tanner and Will on harvesting the biggest alligator in state history," Reeves said online, adding #TastesLikeChicken.Thomas, a 43-year-old lawyer from Mississippi, told The Washington post that the entire experience was"pandemonium."
Thomas added that the group was eventually able to get a noose around the beast's neck before putting it out with a shotgun blast, in accordance with state law. The state has authorized public alligator hunting season since 2005 to control the population.
