An alligator weighing 700lbs and measuring 14ft 1.74in was caught in Georgia. It took a team of five, including three pro hunters, five hours to capture it. The hunter now plans to eat the gator meat and have the reptile's body mounted. Derrick Snelson, of Meriwether County, went on the hunting trip with his 14-year-old daughter, Shelby, and friend Kirk Nozaki. They hunted alongside professional hunters from Lethal Guide Services, seen top left, and included owner Darrell Brown and deckhand John Trammell. The hunting party of five met up at Lake Eufaula on Sunday.

Graphic pictures have emerged of a python feasting on a freshwater crocodile in a murky swamp in Australia's north. The images were posted on the GG Wildlife Rescue Inc social media page after Martin Muller stumbled on the incredible scene. Mr Muller saw the olive python, Australia's second largest snake, devouring an Australian freshwater crocodile while kayaking in Queensland's Mount Isa.

The giant reptile was rescued by conservationists from an irrigation ditch near Lake Blackshear, Georgia, US, and an image of the alligator with wildlife biologist Brent Howze was posted to Facebook. But despite the state's Department of Natural Resources praising the team's actions, some online commenters insisted the picture was fake. One wrote: 'Fake! Camera perception trick - he is actually kneeling 10 feet behind the gator making it appear larger than it is.'

South Africa has just moved from winter into spring but a late cold snap blanketed parts of the country in snow at the weekend, creating some strange scenes in usually arid areas. Kitty Viljoen lives in the Eastern Cape, which bore the brunt of the snowfall, and captured giraffes and elephants toughing out the freezing conditions. A lion was also spotted making its way through the white landscape, standing out like a sore thumb with its yellow coat which is normally hidden by dried-out grass. Wildebeest were also photographed trudging across the wintry landscape.

In the video, Nicole Mojica's son, Timmy, can be seen whizzing down a slip and slide in their backyard in Lake Nona, Orlando. At first, all seems innocent in the Facebook post. Timmy throws his toy alligator around and his mother can be heard saying: 'Summer fun, another day.'
