I heard they can run for short bursts up to 30mph! It is the reason that although I live fulltime in a motorhome and have for 12 years...I have never been to Florida...12' alligators and 16' long pythons are not on my bucket list!


Remember the story! They run in a straight line, and if you zig-zag he increases his chance of getting you.

I don't play golf. Now I know why. I just shoot photographs. I am wise enough to stay very, very far, far away. Besides, he looks hungry and I don't want to be an afternoon snack.

That big fella has an evil eye on you, Rob. With that monster in the water, I'd just leave the golf balls where they landed.
