On March 8, a gigantic alligator took over a golf course in Florida and the golfers present did what any sane person would do - quickly click a few photos. Myakka Pines Golf Club, where the photo-op took place, posted some of these pictures on its Facebook page, causing the Internet to be hit by mild tremors.
Some of the Twitterati had this to say:
Although there were rumours of the pictures being Photoshopped, they were quelled soon enough as patrons present in the club confirmed the gator sighting.
Myakka Pines Golf Club general manager Mickie Zada told Myakka Pines Golf Club general manager Mickie Zada told that while the news may seem strange to some, alligators are no strangers to this golf course.
"We have a lot of alligators around here because there are no houses for miles and it's just open swamp land," she said. This particular gator is believed to be about '12 or 13 feet' long but it isn't the biggest one to have called this golf course its home.
"We had one that lived here for years, his name was Big George, who was probably 15 feet long," Ms Zada said.
Golfers, when faced with the prospect of a strolling past a sunbathing gator, either wait for it to pass or move elsewhere themselves. Dick Huber, whose pictures of the gator are doing the rounds on social media, told ESPN.com, "You don't move them, they move you. You have to respect where they want to go."
