"Swamp People": hunters catch huge cannibal alligator
On "Swamp People" (Thu., 9 p.m. ET on History) Thursday night alligator hunters RJ and Jay Paul were in the bayou on the trail of a vicious killer gator known as "Pas Tout La" (that's French for "Not All There").
Not only had the beast been savaging the local deer population, it had also been chomping on its fellow alligators, biting their heads off.
When the pair finally caught Pas Tout La the rogue alligator turned out to weigh a whopping 800 pounds. "That's an old bruiser," said one of the hunters.
"Swamp People" airs Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET on History.
