Earlier, in a terrifying incident, a massive 10-foot long alligator was spotted on a golf course in Florida.

According to the details, the “dinosaur-sized” alligator was seen marching along the golf course in Naples, Florida on Wednesday. The golfers were stunned after seeing the large reptile on the ground.

In a video that went viral on social media, the massive alligator can be seen walking through the ground seemingly without any fear and interest in the golfers.
