Charlie Helms was golfing with friends at the Buffalo Creek Golf Course in Palmetto, Florida, when a large alligator walked across the fairway. How large was it? “Dave, get next to it for perspective!”
It’s a monster, but not unknown to the staff. A pro shop clerk said he’s between 15 and 16 feet long, and owned by Manatee County. He’s their course mascot. That’s kind of like having a dinosaur casually hang around for tourists to take pictures with. -via Buzzfeed
Yikes! That's what I call a gator.

I'm calling shenanigans. 13 feet is the largest gator on record (though they didn't actually measure this one). But more importantly, what would it eat? Something that size would need to take in a half-dozen deer (or other gators) every day, at least.
