Sorry about pic.
Sorry about the pictures thay were taken on a older dig. camera. I'm trying to work on them to make them better. Tye Griz thay get real big in the south. I guide right down on the coast of ga. in the altamaha river at Darien ga. thats zone 7, lots of food make big gators. Those are 11'3" on the left and 10'2' on the right. Left gator is 595 pounds and the right is 365 pounds both are males.

Many of our North Carolina gators are 6' to 8' ... but some have reached 11' or more ... and I've seen a stuffed 12' gator that was taken from poachers in Dare County.
The difference comes from our winters being colder, say biologists. The only reason we have them at all is because of our coastal environment, which has weather more like the Deep South most of the year.
We do have some big ol' bears around here ... 700 lb. + ... wish I could send you a few big bears and you could send me a few big gators!
