Gators in Florida, and I'm Not Talking about a University Sports Team

First up, golfing in Florida, where the hazards are truly dangerous Watch: Giant alligator disrupts play at Florida golf course

And only in Florida will people ignore the danger for a video. Or maybe that isn't just Florida.

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

Just because he isn't moving fast, doesn't mean he can't. They are ambush predators.

And they are dangerous. A guy lost his arm in the past week. (No link, but you can find the story if you are that interested.)

But they are mostly a problem when they wander into populated areas. Like school yards. Florida MMA Fighter Tussles With Alligator Outside School

Mike Dragich is a licensed alligator trapper as well as an MMA fighter. He was also previously in the Marine Corps. (I don't think there is anything as an ex-Marine, but that is what they call him in the article.)

"We get there. I walked through the gate. And boom. There it was just ready to go right there in the parking lot, and we just had to get the job done," Dragich told Fox35.

SiGraybeard's advice from a few of years back is still good.

When in doubt, remember rule #1. [Rule 1 = The alligator has the right of way.] And remember two things. First, a gator can sprint faster than you can run for short distances. They're ambush-style predators and not likely to just attack you on land. If they're hungry, you're close and not aware, I don't rule it out. Second, the gators have learned how to climb fences.

There are 5 rules, and a page of info from the State of Florida.
