Wildlife biologist Brent Howze recently encountered a massive alligator in Georgia weighing an estimated 700 pounds and measuring 13 feet and 4 inches. Many thought the photo was a hoax but it was verified. Sadly, the gator had to be euthanized due to its poor condition as it had several old gunshot wounds. If your'e wondering if its the largest gator ever found in Georgia, it isn't. The largest was 14-feet-1-inch, found in 2015. Male alligators can grow as long as 16 feet, although anything over 14 feet is considered rare
