Thanks or the pic Doc That is HUGE! It's head is as long as it's body sans tail

I'm thinking when they've managed to grow that big they need to be left alone to continue to grow older. What's the life expectancy of a gator in the wild?

I hope those guys are all 3 foot tall. WOW. That thing is crazy huge.

I think around 50 yrs

How old do you suppose those monsters in the photo's are? 40ish? I hope they're not only 25 ish years old, that would mean they could dbl in size to 30+ft. So really the record will peak out sooner or later?

boss, I think they said late 40's
