"My son played there last night, yikes glade he didn't see that guy" Vincent Di Betta commented on the post. "We're there everyday!" wrote Angeline Dozier.

Florida is a state famous for its alligators and every year the huge creatures don't fail to hit headlines.

Earlier in July, a Florida man was bitten on his arm by an alligator as he dived to collect golf balls from a lake. Reports said that 51-year-old Scott Lahodik managed to get out of the lake and was rushed to hospital where he underwent surgery.

In May, another crazy video showed a huge gator swimming at the bottom of a Florida family's pool before being caught by a local trapper. "Luckily, these homeowners took a second look this morning before jumping in to kick off their Memorial Day," Sarasota County Sheriff's Office wrote on Twitter.
