Massive alligator captured in Mississippi is a new state record
2023-08-28
[Miami Herald] Giving off major "Jurassic Park" vibes, a creature captured in Mississippi broke the record for the longest alligator ever captured in the state. While its length — 14 feet, 3 inches — is astonishing, so too is its mass. The alligator captured on the second day of Mississippi’s hunting season weighed 802.5 pounds with a belly girth of 66 inches, according to the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks.

The previous record came in 2017 when a group bagged an alligator that was 14 feet, 0.75 inches and weighed 766.5 pounds, according to Super Talk Mississippi News. The department said the record alligator was harvested Saturday, Aug. 26, by the foursome of Tanner White, Don Woods, Will Thomas and Joey Clark. Red Antler Processing said the hunters found the monster in the Yazoo River.

#2  It was not "captured". You do not capture a dinosaur like this.
