C5 Golfer Posted February 9, 2007 Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 Snowsnakes are much smaller than this bad boy. The officer walking by is supposedly 6'5" .. the gator is 23 feet long or about 7 meters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jnshapiro Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 Huh?Have a tissue for your issues and, otherwise, if you can't play nice, go away Now that was uncalled for. I was going to post something and thought better of it. I'll go ahead now and say it. Gators don't get much bigger than 19 feet. The largest one ever recorded was a hair over 19 feet and found in LA (easily verified with a google search). Aside from that, the picture in question has been doctored to make it look like the gator is bigger than it is. You can see that in the belly of the beast that is against the blue truck in the background. There is some intentional blurring of pixels there in order to mask the change. There are other indicators as well. Frankly, after posting that originally, I changed my mind. And so edited the post to say what it says now. I decided that posting that would perhaps have thrown a damper on the entertainment value of the picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjvircks Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 NO... NO... this is not a faked image!!! I was there when this bad boy was caught on the Cedar River here in Iowa. Our Water Ski team was out doing a New Years Day show since the river was open due to the warm weather. During a 10 skier pyramid he surfaced and grabbed two of the bottom skiers in the same mouthfull. For the sake of the families they did a real good job of getting all the chunks of wetsuit out the his teeth. Really... its true! edit: Did I forget to mention that I'm also the father of Anna Nichole's baby? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buell Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 Ah, no doubt, bjvircks has the best story. It probably happened too, after the gator was in Texas, Arkansas, and Florida, he just headed up to Iowa for some fun and a photo shoot.
