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!"

Robert Morris, founding pastor of Gateway Church, a megachurch in Southlake, Texas, has been indicted on five counts of lewd or indecent acts with a child, stemming from alleged incidents dating back to the 1980s, the Oklahoma attorney general's office announced Wednesday. We are aware of the actions being taken by the legal authorities in Oklahoma and are grateful for the work of the justice system in holding abusers accountable for their actions. We continue to pray for Cindy Clemishire and her family, for the members and staff of Gateway Church, and for all of those impacted by this terrible situation.
