My partner and I saw a gator this large in the wild in Lake City, FL, a few years ago.

Seeing an alligator in Florida is not hard. Just, like, go near water and look around. But one this large is a bit rarer.

BTW those people are way too close — even a gator that large can move at 20mph or so if it wants to. I know it looks lethargic and poky. But it ain’t when it don’t wanna be.
