Ah so, apparently, is forced perspective.

A big Australian Saltwater Croc would eat that little gator for lunch.

Still seems to be a big fuckin' gator. That tractor is a little over 9 feet to the top of the cab, not sure how much higher the front bucket can reach. Maybe another 5 feet. 14 Ft = big fuckin' gator, at least in my book.

To me, it doesn't look to be taken at an angle. Maybe I'm wrong but the photo looks to be taken at an adults height straight on. The kid height and tractor height look to be about right to me too. |

I don't think anyone is asserting that this was a small animal, but the guy claims "almost 15 feet," and I am skeptical about that claim (as is the FL Dept. of Wildlife, which will supposedly be examining the animal today.) Heck, maybe it is 14'+, probably making it in the 80 years old+ range. |

There are some better photos showing the angle out there, I'll see if I can dredge one up---you can tell that the wheels of the tractor and turned all the way to the right, so with the kid standing directly in front of the right front tire, he is even farther back from the animal than he first appears. ETA: Here's one with less cropping at the bottom that shows that better: 
ETA 2: After looking at the dimensions of a John Deere 7230r and what appears to be an H480 loader, I'm guessing that thing is more like 13, 13.5 feet. Still impressive, but not quite "almost 15 feet." ETA 3: Derp, that's actually an H360 loader. Close to the same dimensions mounted on a 7230 though, just a couple inches less. |

The kid isn't even close to touching the foot. He's several feet behind the gator. Kid is next to the front right tire and gator is hanging from the front left of the tractor.

That JD model has almost 14' of lift height to the bottom of the bucket. In this pic it is curled, I'd buy the gator being 15' snout to tip of tail.

And the tractor looks to be a 7230, which is pretty big at like 9.5' tall.
