Hunter Finds Huge 15ft-Long Cattle-Eating Alligator

Sometimes 'fucking huge' is an acceptable and understood unit of measurement. This is one of those times.

This 800lb 15ft alligator was shot by professional hunter Lee Lightsey, who said it was the biggest he'd seen in 18 years.

According to Lee, the reptile had been feasting on cattle on his farm and a tractor was needed to move it.

Lee told BBC News: "Although this animal is huge I was not that surprised it existed. We have come across lots over the last 20 years that have been only a little smaller.

"But what really drew our attention to this animal was the fact that it seems to have been feasting on the cattle on my farm, because mutilated body parts were found in the water. It was a monster which needed to be removed."

Lee spotted the huge alligator when supervising a guided hunt with his guide Blake Godwin. It was about 20ft away from them when they shot it.

Fuck that.
