While riding in a golf cart, a couple was surprised by an alligator attack in Florida. According to the scene filmed by a passerby, he was minus one!
Florida is a destination well known for its nature and wild landscapes, home to large expanses of water populated by alligators. This tourist destination in which the Everglades Park is located, which is home to more than 2000 alligators, is therefore the paradise of these reptiles. And it seems that golf courses have become the new playground for these amazing animals. On February 16, a passerby managed to film an impressive scene. Denise Prues shared a video on social networks of an alligator walking in Ave Maria, in a residential property, in Florida. But the unthinkable happened when a couple drove past him in a golf cart.
In the video, we see the alligator charging the couple located in front of a pond, forcing them to swerve with the steering wheel. The cart narrowly missed falling into the lake, and the alligator was on the verge of biting the driver’s left leg. The man and woman quickly fled, having been scared for their lives, while the alligator headed into the pond. “I heard a noise in the side yard and I looked up, and the alligator was slowly walking between the houses,” Prues told Storyful. “I was on my phone, so [je] I quickly switched to the video, confided the witness of the scene who can be heard shouting “Oh my God!”.
As alligators are numerous in Florida, the website of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) reminds us of precautionary actions. “Be aware of the possibility of alligators when you are in or near fresh or brackish water. Bites can occur when people do not pay enough attention to their surroundings while working or playing near water. ‘water.” However, serious injuries caused by alligators remain rare. “In general, alligators less than four feet tall are not large enough to be dangerous if left unhandled,” the agency adds.
