Way too small to be 7'

You can see from the first picture that if the man laid flat on top of the Gator that they'd be the same or he may even be longer. 
He's probably 6' at most.

Actually, the guy gives a precise measurement of the Alligator as 6' 11" or 2.108 meters.

It is at 3:15

Maybe so but how he measures it is unseen. You can see fairly easily that its not a long animal. Just look at when he is on top of it, raising the gators head up. 
If the man and gator lay flat, the man's torso easily surpasses the gators head and if the man's legs were extended they'd surpass the gators tail.

It is possible that he measured the Alligator like this.

"With her children fast asleep, Kibbe waited a couple of hours before calling the police. She told authorities over the phone she thought it had a length of about 3 feet or 4 feet but once an officer came to her home he estimated it was closer to 6 feet, she said.

A private trapper was sent to her Port Charlotte home shortly after. "He put a noose on it and it went into the death roll that I've seen on TV," Kibbe said.


Once the trapper was able to drag the gator into the front yard he was able to get an accurate measurement of a little over 7-feet. The trapper told Kibbe he was going to take it to a farm to be released for mating."

They are calling this Gator 7' for comparison

Maybe I'm just thrown off by how small they are in robustness, but the length to me doesn't look 7'. Reply
