Who says Dinosaurs are extinct?”

Giant gator caught strolling through Polk nature center

A giant alligator was caught on camera during a morning stroll at a nature center in Polk County.

The Lakeland Police Department shared the video, taken by Kim Joiner, on
their Facebook page saying, "Who says Dinosaurs are extinct?"

The big daddy gator was strolling through the Circle B Bar Reserve, an area of of protected lands in Polk County.

Alligators are not by any means uncommon in the American South, particularly in Florida, where there about a million of the modern dinosaurs live. Male alligators can grow very large, reaching up to 15 feet and weighing up to 1,000 pounds. Joiner told Florida television station WKMG she believed the one she spotted to be 12 feet long.
