Giant Alligator Spotted In Alabama
This giant alligator was photographed by a news helicopter in Lake Weiss. That small animal in its mouth is no small animal but an 11 foot deer. Want to take a guess on how big that makes the gator?

first of all, this looks shopped…2nd, ain’t no such thing as an “11 foot deer”, no matter how you measure one (i.e. head to toe or nose to ass)
One more item that has me wondering if this just may be another hoax; the story that accompanies the photo’s claims that “the pictures were taken by a KTBS helicopter flying over Lake Wiess which is about 90 miles North of Birmingham, Alabama.” This makes me suspicious because Broadcasters with call signs beginning with K are West of the Mississippi. So, I did a Google on KTBS and sure enough, it’s in Shreveport Louisiana and broadcasts over Louisiana, Arkansas and East Texas. A check of the KTBS web site turned up no mention of any giant alligator stories. You would think that if this station had sent a helicopter all the way to North Alabama to film a 25’ alligator that the story would be worthy of bragging rights on their web site.
I live in alabama and trust me there are alligators that big. Yes, mabey not an “11foot deer” but if you have been up to a deer they are pretty big.
