KISSIMMEE, Fla. – A Florida woman captured the breathtaking moment of a humongous alligator wandering on a golf course.
Golfers did not seem to notice the gator slowly walking along the course at Stonegate Oaks in Kissimmee.

Alligators are ectothermic, which means they rely on external sources of heat to regulate their body temperature, says the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. Alligators control their body temperatures by basking in the sun or moving to warmer or cooler air temperatures.
The big fella seemed to be looking for a place to relax in the sun, despite interrupting people on the course.
