With the gait of an old man moving from the living room into the kitchen to see what's for dinner, a gigantic alligator caught the attention of the entire Internet recently.

Alligators, on the contrary, can grow to gobsmackingly large proportions. Now, we like to think we would have been as brave as the tourists that decided to lounge around and capture the moment on their smartphones rather than run in absolute terror.

This humungous alligator is just one of the many animals you might see roaming the area, more specifically the Circle B Bar Reserve in Lakeland, Florida.
As Visit Central Florida explains, the Circle B Bar Reserve once housed many cattle and cowboys, but now it's a lush area that you can meander about and use for that next great family portrait of yours.
If you're really lucky, you will have a beast that weighs 1,000 pounds and measures 13-feet long come waltzing past as you stand in wonder.
