Gargantuan gator caught after chasing joggers in Houston
Published in Weird News
HOUSTON (UPI) -- Texas alligator catchers said a massive 12-foot gator captured after "chasing joggers" in Houston is estimated to be about 80 years old.
Texas Gator Control posted a photo to Facebook of the enormous 700-pound beast after it was tied up Tuesday night by trappers.
The alligator measured a total 12 feet, 4 inches long.
"It was chasing joggers and lost its fear of people. He'll spend the rest of his life living it up in a gator farm," the post said.
The trappers said the owner of the alligator farm in El Campo estimated the jogger-chaser to be about 80 years old.
