That Gator is the stuff of nightmares.
It’s the shark and bear thing all over again......it’s their environment.....WE are the interlopers and should act accordingly.
The photo closeup at the end of the post is narrow nosed and might actually be a crocodile. However, there are only wide snouted alligators in SC. It would seem the closeup is not in fact the creature on the golf course.
For the record and estimation of the length of the golf course creature in question......
The distance from the nose to the eyes in inches is the same number as the length of the alligator in feet.
The guy in the white shirt said “I don’t have to outrun the allogator - I just have to outrun you.”
the irony of seeing someone named "GeorgiaDawg32" post this....:^)
Oh by the way, GO GATORS!!!
We have come a long way from the 1960s when alligators were thought to be almost extinct due to poaching. A ban on hunting them was put in place. Within a few years the US was so up to it’s butt in alligators that hunting was again allowed for them. Rule was, the front legs still had to be attached to the skin to prevent poachers from selling old skins they had in cold storage.
Tastes like chicken.
Last time I was in Kiawah the alligators were everywhere, right along the bike paths. Not the place for small children.
It seems nice. After all, it’s smiling in that picture.

From what I understand, the ladies body was partially submerged and the gator was protecting it. We were told it was euthanized the same day. The family of the lady has filed suit against the community, claiming it had been aggressive and there had been previous complaints.
Go GATORS!
Zhustang Wilson just rose from the grave, muttering, “alligator sauce piquant, alligator sauce piquant, ... Aieee, I done tol’ you for true!”
Word to the wise...It’s mating season in Florida soon, so don’t be too complacent with your friendly reptile, they don’t play well with others during mating season.
Did someone say Mating Season? /Florida Man
Did you mean “Godzilla” on 4 legs?
I’ve had nightmares of those things.
They are not something to mess with for sureā¦
They are in complete āDGAF modeā at all timesā¦ and will do some serious damage.
That is a BIG gator.
It was par for the course.....................
We have big gators here at Huntington State Park outside of Myrtle Beach. Big ones.
Well fed monsters.....................
