HUGE 800 POUND GATOR FOUND IN SC

Eddie Monroe has a routine. Every morning he walks around the outskirts of Somerset Point a park for Santee Cooper retirees and workers in Pinopolis on Lake Moultrie. As groundskeeper, Monroe looks for trash and makes sure the park's campers are comfortable. But on Tuesday he found the one thing he never expected to find. "I noticed this huge gator right here," said Monroe, pointing next to the park's floating dock. Huge may by the understatement of the year. The alligator Monroe found measured 12 feet long and weighted 800 pounds. After the groundskeeper realized it was dead, he got on the phone. The Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and gator experts showed up to find out just how the massive gator died.
