A 14-foot "once in a lifetime" alligator has been killed by hunters in the US.
Two hunters shot dead the mighty kill - a male weighing an enormous 781lb (345kg) - in the swamps of Texas.
In a celebratory Facebook post, Wildlife Management Area official James E Dauhtrey congratulated the hunters on their kill while detailing the beast's specifications.
The picture shows the "once-in-a-lifetime gator" lying on the floor with a wooden stick holding open its crushing jaws.
In the comments, fellow hunters hailed the "awesome harvest" and "huge" prize.
The beast falls just behind the largest alligator ever caught, which was 15.9ft long and seized by an Alabama woman in 2014.
Males tend to grow to around 11.2ft long.
Just last month two brothers caught a female alligator on Mississippi's Pearl River which was thought to be 100-years-old.
Officials said on Twitter that the creature broke the state record for largest female.
The animal was first spotted in 2009 by wildlife officials who named it "Yellow 410".
"We tagged this alligator on June 11, 2009, as part of a research project," said Riky Flynt, local alligator program coordinator.
"At that time, the alligator also measured exactly 10 feet, 2 inches, and was captured within 100 yards of where the Densons killed the record alligator."
Officials estimated the gator's age at 100 in 2009, but say she hasn't grown at all since then.
Earlier this week another alligator was so large rescuers had to find a tow truck to carry the huge creature away.
The 12-foot beast was captured in Atascocita, Texas, after a horrified local saw it walking across the road.
The reptile needed to be put on the heavy-duty vehicle and handed over to animal control, officials confirmed.
Police were quickly on the scene after a man's early start for work was disturbed by the fearsome gator on Monday.
He spotted it crawling out from under a truck before alerting the authorities.
Harris County Precinct 4 Constable's Office quickly arrived - but needed some expert back up with concerns growing.
