7-Foot Gator Emerges From A Swamp, And Lets College Students Get Close

Depending on where you call home, you may, every so often, encounter a dangerous creature out in the open, in public areas.

Places like Florida, for example, may have a higher instance of these occurrences, as alligators are often seen out in the open, roaming around in public areas. Check out this monster creature, who roamed a golf course in broad daylight!

Not, another one of the creatures found its way into a public space – this time on a college campus.

The 7-foot gator emerged from a nearby swamp to bask in the warm sun, just as the students were strolling around the library of Florida Gulf Coast University.

But the students didn't seem phased by the gator's sudden appearance, even stopping to take pictures, and casually approaching the massive beast.

The animal didn't seem to cause a stir, and let the students get as close as they ventured to. Campus police responded to the situation, and quietly escorted the gator back into the swamp.

Although this isn't the first time an alligator has been spotted at the school's property, some students claim that it's certainly the largest one to appear to date!

Hopefully, future inevitable encounters with such dangerous animals will be as harmless as this one…

Please SHARE if you know you would run in the opposite direction at the first sight of such a beast!
