A Florida news station has shared video footage showing a massive alligator disrupting practice on a golf course and hissing at players riding in a cart.
“Huge Florida Gator! We do golf a little different,” Matt Devitt, chief meteorologist at WINK News, stated Sunday via Twitter. “Check out this big guy playing through at a Florida course!”
The footage, credited to Dalton Mehrl, shows the alligator trampling a bin of practice balls. The gator then hisses from a cart path as golfers in a cart approach too closely.

“He’s angry,” one of the golfers observes, repeatedly, as the group backs away.

The footage also shows the gator slow-stepping across the practice area before seemingly pausing to nap.
The size of the reptile is unclear but for those who might wonder: The Florida length record for alligators is 14 feet, 3-1/2 inches. The weight record (involving a different gator) is 1,043 pounds.
