| | | Giant Alligator In Alabama These pictures were taken by a helicopter flying over Lake Wiess about 90 miles north of Birmingham , Alabama. The helicopter pilot and the game warden were in communication via radio. Here is a transcript of their conversation.
'Air1 have you a visual on the gator, over'
'Approaching inlet now, over'
'Roger Air1'
'Gator sighted.. Looks like it has a small animal in its mouth.. moving in, over'
'Roger Air1'
'Holy Crap it's a Deer!'
'Confirm Air1.. did you say Deer?, Over'
'Roger.. a Deer in its mouth.. looks like a full sized buck.. that's a big gator, we are going to need more men, Over'
'Roger Air1.. can you give me a idea on size of animal, over'
'Its big 25 feet at least, please advise Gator is heading to inlet.. do I pursue?, over' | | | | | | Alligator with Stag in its MouthThat has to be a HUGE gator to have a whole deer in its mouth! The deer was later found to be a mature Stag and was measured at 11 feet! This alligator was found between Centre and Leesburg , Alabama , near a house ! Game wardens were forced to shoot the alligator. Anita and Charlie Rogers could hear the bellowing in the night.
| | | | | | 28 foot AlligatorTheir neighbors had been telling them that they had seen a mammoth alligator in the waterway that runs behind their house, but they dismissed the stories as exaggerations. I didn't believe it,' Charles Rogers said, but they realized the stories were, if anything, understated. Alabama Parks and Wildlife game wardens had to shoot the beast. Joe Goff, 6'5' tall, a game warden, walks past the 28 foot, 1 inch alligator 8.5 meters he shot and killed in their back yard.
