And there were plenty of other varieties of creatures in the late Mesozoic that could have eaten that size of gator for Lunch.

Nature, you a muthafricka!

The gators & crocs (as species) got lucky and survived.

They give us a hint of what was out there.

It's big. That's not a question. But forced perspective ruins it for me because I know it's not *as* big as it looks.

At that age, he probably had osteoporosis and gout. His kids were probably too old to take care of him, and the grandkids are all spoiled assholes too busy chasing frogs to pick up the damn phone and call their old grandpappy. He probably knew exactly what he was doing when he bit that juicy chicken on a shiny hook.

“Doubt anybody will kick up a fuss.” was probably the last thought that travelled through is mind as that .22 went through his skull. Life is a blessing, but outliving is a curse.

Of course it’s gotta be a photo with that ridiculous sort of forced perspective.

Trying to make the thing’s head/mouth look bigger than the whole of the ole boy on the end.

Holy shite.

I graduated high school with the dude second from the left.

ETA: Just read the article. He was the tag holder of the four pictured. Oddly enough, one of the people who caught the state record back in 2017 was also in my high school graduating class.

People should just buy all their meat at the store so no animals get hurt.

The gator did go out in nature. Humans are part of nature.

Most gigantic catfish are caught and released bc their meat is low quality when they are old and fat. Too bad they killed this big guy.
