Record-breaking 14-foot-long alligator that weighs more than 800 pounds captured in Mississippi

An alligator the size of a small SUV has been captured and killed in Mississippi – and it was so big, that officials say it broke a state record.

The Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks said that four hunters in the state – Tanner White, Don Woods, Will Thomas and Joey Clark – captured the male gator on Saturday amid the ongoing alligator hunting season. 

"He measured 14 feet and 3 inches long, with belly girth of 66 inches and tail girth of 46.5 inches," officials wrote on Facebook. "He weighed 802.5 lbs!"
