Those pics have been floating around the web for awhile,
but worth a re-look. The alligator in the first pic was reported to be ~13 feet, per Snopes. One of my fave 'gator pics below; I copped it from a photo site and I could not capture the data and have forgotten the photographer...amazing 15mm fisheye lens shot, however. Alligators have made a good "comeback" after being close to extinction here in the US... BR,mD

Here's the Snopes on that 13 footer in the first pic...
http://www.snopes.com/photos/animals/wcgator.asp The camera angle made it appear even larger, but legit, and from Texas, not FLA. We have them, obviously, around our StarterShack golf course in SW FLA. They roam from pond to pond... a 11+ footer was captured last season from a pond and reportedly killed. I'm told the DNR/Wildlife dept of various states has the last word on "capture and change location" to "kill". The danger being to kids and about any sized pet...since they have increased population so well, the big ones are often killed.
