Jurassic Park pays a visit to a Florida golf course.


  • The monster gator is a regular at Buffalo Creek Golf Course in Palmetto, Florida

  • 'He doesn't bother anybody and they don't bother him,' a staffer said, and when asked,
  • players estimate the gator to be between 15 and 16 feet long (and golfers are certainly good at estimating distances). 

  • But, if you got close enough, you can bet he'd consider eating you right up.  I wonder how fast he can run/waddle?  Let's not find out.

      I think that the gator goes wherever he wants to and eats what he wants to.

      With a quick Google search, it looks like larger gators top out around 8-10 mph, smaller ones can reach 25 mph. Texas Fish and Game says they can reach 35 mph.

      It's all fun and games unless he sees you first.

      Gators are ambush predators. You should never walk your dog near the water's edge in South Florida.
