The moment a giant crocodile interrupts a round of golf

This weekend, a group of friends set out to enjoy an afternoon of golf at Savannah, city ​​of Georgia, United States. In one of the holes, the players met a new giant mate.

A alligator nearly three meters long I walked Sunday through the field of The club, specifically for the number 17 green.

The images were captured by the participants of the tour, Ed Vance, who told what happened when recording the reptile with his camera. Despite the terror of meeting such an animal, these golfers mocked him and filmed how he had walked on the lawn until he was submerged in the water.

"We all look at each other and we wonder what it is that noise"says Vance to the newspaper Island Package. "At first I thought it was the maintenance team on the other side of the brush cutting it or something." Curiosity led them to approach the place where they met the alligator. "It's crazy," Vence screams in the recording: "Friend, it's a monster".

"I will always remember the sound of his feet when he walks on the green," he told the newspaper. "The video does not capture it, but the sound was what you might think, it sounds like a dinosaur, it was surreal," he recalled.

In the spring, it is normal for this type of reptile to come out of the swamps and walk around the area, in this case on a golf course.

The alliogator is often mistaken for an alligator, but it really belongs to the crocodile family. Despite the logical fear they can generate in humans, they rarely attack because their diet is based on fish, insects, rodents and small birds. The American can measure up to six meters long and is located on the east coast of the United States. This species can also eat deer, dogs and cats.

The some recorded attacks of these animals to humans they have been for the recklessness of people trying to explore areas where females lay their eggs. There, reptiles use their strength to protect their young, but not to feed themselves.
