Charles Helms and a friend were enjoying a simple game of golf in Palmetto, Florida, when a hulking American alligator walked right through their game.
With the swagger only an apex predator can exude, the alligator lumbered across Buffalo Creek Golf Course’s pristine fairway, ignoring the golfing party entirely.
Uploaded on May 25 to his Facebook page, Helms’ video, above, has since made international news.
The pair estimated the gargantuan alligator to be “at least” 15 feet long.
“I think that’s two guys in an alligator suit,” Helms can be heard saying to his pal, in utter disbelief.
Helms later told ABC Action News that he couldn’t believe what he saw at first. “I didn’t know if we were being punked or something,” said Helms.
“It was just laying down, resting, when it got up and started moving towards the big lake,” said Helms.
