Massive alligator walks across Florida golf course

Feb. 16 (UPI) -- A maintenance worker at a Florida golf course captured video of a gargantuan alligator walking across a fairway with an entourage of vultures.

Pope Golf, which manages Buffalo Creek Golf Course in the Parrish and Palmetto area, posted a video to Facebook showing the massive gator strolling across the eighth hole of the course while several vultures follow close behind.

Buffalo Creek general manager Ryan Henderson said the 15-foot alligator's walk was recorded by a maintenance worker.

He said the gator is the same animal dubbed "Chubbs" by fans after being caught on camera in a 2016 viral video.

"It's the same gator that's been out here for 25 years," Henderson told the Bradenton Herald.
