A few months ago, another video of a giant alligator in Florida named Chubbs was going viral. Chubbs, a 12-foot long alligator was seen strolling in a golf course. Massive alligators are commonly seen here, so Suzy Griffin Paul who visited the park over the weekend was not too surprised to have the massive reptile swimming around in the marsh. "This huge gator that they call Fabio swims right up and stops in front of us in the water and we realize he wants to cross the path. So we all back up away and give him space," Paul was quoted to a news report. Once they moved aside, the gator crossed their trail. Alligator In Swimming Pool!
