I think that photo is staged to make the gator look bigger.

If you look at the shadow of the strap, the gator is way close to the camera than the truck. Also, if you look at the strap wher it hangs on the tailgate, it is, at most a 2" strap. I think that makes that gator fall a little short of 28'.

Cool pics though. Especially the water ones.

If that Gator is 28 ft long then that little florida keys deer must be 18-20 feet itself.

Just another internet fantasy.
