A 463-pound alligator tried to cross a Florida highway earlier this month but met a tragic end -- it was struck by a semi-truck and had to be put down
A, massive, absolutely gargantuan gator tried to cross a Florida highway earlier this month but met a tragic end -- it was struck by a semi-truck and had to be put down.
Tallahassee alligator trapper Broderick Vaughan said he received a call about a stunned alligator walking in circles on the highway near the state's capital. He's caught the creatures for over a decade, so he expected a standard removal job. But no. The 12-foot, 463-pound goliath he found was one of the largest he'd ever encountered, he told CNN. And it was badly injured. The alligator had collided with a semi-truck, which injured its snout and crushed its head on one side.
