Pretty amazing. But also kinda sad that he met his demise after surviving so many similar encounters.

Fake.

Google 185 year old alligator and one of the top links debunks it.

I was at dinner and didn't have time to verify the source. I knew gators could live a long time but 185 seemed fishy to me as well.
rather be fishing

MY GOD they cut the critter open and found a hand with a HOFFA ring on it AND a piece of a rudder from some ship called M. Celeste....

We fired our cannon til the barrel melted down
So we grabbed an alligator and we fought another round
We filled his head cannon balls and powdered his behind
And when we touched the powder off the gator list his mind!

Somewhat related, alligator snapping turtles actually have been found with civil war era bullets embedded in their shells, and their lifespan is known to be as long as 200 years. Wouldn't be surprised if the author got this spoof idea from snapping turtles!
