There’s a baw in Colorado with an alligator farm. The gators can survive bc the water on his property is fed from a hot spring

Plus, he has an advantage in the market. His gators are already half-cooked when you get them.

There was one killed in Arkansas in 2012 that was 13’3 and 1380 pounds. Weighed it on truck scales. I question that a little, but even if they were wrong by a third, that is still a 1,000 pound gator.
There have been longer ones killed but not that heavy. Last year they killed on over in Eastern Arkansas that was 13’11 and 1/2 but only weighed 800 pounds.

I’m not saying they don’t get that big or heavy, but nearly every gator they discuss on “Swamp People” seems to weigh 1,000 pounds...even the 6 footers.

I agree with you on Swamp People. And I think a 1000 pound gator is so rare as to be a freak.

Much like old growth, giant trees they were likely much more common 150+ years ago.

That’s why there are so many big ones in Southwest Arkansas. They really aren’t hunted. They only took 86 gators in the whole state last year. They just hang around getting bigger and bigger. In places where they are hunted, they just don’t make it long enough to get truly huge.

The local news had video of an 8' gator in the Chattahoochee near Akers Mill in metro Atlanta. The water there, because it is being released from the bottom of Lake Lanier, is cold enough to support trout.
He may have just been exploring. The water goes back to a normal temperature maybe a mile or so downstream.

The gator in question probably came from Santee-Ccoper, which is full of gators.
I believe you can find them up to Clarks Hill and Lake Murray in SC. Possibly Lake Greenwood too but past those the water gets too cold to support them.
Same reason you don’t see too many water moccassins past those lakes either, which warms my heart. ;)

Yep, kind of like the snakes, this one weighs 120 lbs, but one handed they flip it up onto the truck bed.

From Google.

American alligators occur naturally in North Carolina, inhabiting bay lakes, rivers, creeks, marshes, swamps and ponds, with local populations distributed in patches along the entire coast. Alligators become less common in coastal NC as you move from south to north.

They’re all over the golf courses in Hilton Head. Ive seen them as far North as Wilmington NC and they’re all up the SC rivers to the fall line.

I wonder if the alligator ate dogs that someone had killed and dumped, odd it caught so many with same type of tags. We had deer hunters kill dogs because they were disturbing them.
Luckily the monsters were caught after running their mouths about it.
