Yea, not good idea. Every small or large lake has at least 1 alligator that lives in it. Idk how it is outside of my county, but that's how it is where I'm from in Pinellas (right above palmetto, where this story is from).

Saw this earlier and that was my first thought too. Crazy that we share the planet (and I guess golf courses now too :lol ) with monsters like that.

The dude filming has balls the size of boulders.

The thing is massive, but what do our salt water crocs get up to? Like 7 or 8 meters? So like 23-25 feet?

Kangaroos bullying people in the suburbs. 25 ft alligators. Mel Gibson.

Australia sounds like hell on Earth...

Generally 20 feet. But yeah sometimes 23 feet or so.

TBH that alligator is still one impressive beast, you generally won't see a salty walking around like that.

(CNN)Alligators may be common in Florida, but it's not every day that police find them feasting on human remains.

That's what happened Monday evening, when police responded to a call from fishermen who said they had spotted a body and alligators nearby.
Officers arrived to find a gruesome scene at a canal in the town of Southwest Ranches, just southwest of Fort Lauderdale. Alligators were in the water with a human body.
"It did seem like the alligators did get at the remains," said Sgt. Pablo Castaneda, spokesman for police in the nearby town of Davie.
The body of a male was retrieved after authorities shooed the gators away.
The death is a mystery
Police said they don't know who the man was, or how he died.
"Definitely we want to identify who the victim is and to possibly figure out what happened to them. How did they end up here? Could it be a homicide? Could it be a suicide? Could it be natural? ... We don't know," Castaneda said.
Investigators don't believe the alligators killed the person, Davie police Capt. David Engle said.
While they don't know how long the remains had been at the canal, Castaneda said it seemed it had been "a while."
"I've never, in my time here in Davie, I haven't come across a case where we have alligators getting at the remains," he said. "But I'm sure it's happened before."

Maybe if it were in Texas

It's at it golf course and apparently the staff there have known about it. It's probably going to be protected now

also "balls of steel" nothing, gators prefer to conserve energy and aren't going to be insanely aggressive like perhaps a caiman. And even if it were to uncharacteristically chase after you, you could outrun it (they're surprisingly fast but their body structure doesn't lend itself well to turning, so you have that advantage as long as you don't try to run in a straight line like a retard)

For an American gator, that's massive.

On the scale of giant crocs and gators...that's a little bigger than average. Some of the crocs out there could swallow one of us whole.

The question is have you seen any. When I was in the NT I didn't spot any of them.

Yer I have seen countless saltwater and freshwater crocs, I've spent a fair bit of time up the top end over the years.

Yeah but do you ever see crocodiles moving across land like that? Alligators will travel pretty far from shore which makes it very unsettling.

That's a SARCO! Yes, I know my Mesozoic Era stuff. Thanks, Ark. Now I'm the coolest person here. :yaohappy:

On a serious note, what's the difference between an Alligator and a Sarco? Bone structure or length (or both)? If length, I think that qualifies to be called as a Sarco.

Sarco Edited comparison:
