LAKELAND, Fla. And you thought dinosaurs were extinct. Video of a massive alligator spotted in Lakeland was posted to Facebook on Sunday, raising the eyebrows of many.
Kim Joiner told News 6 that she captured the video at the Polk Nature Discovery Center.
It looks like a dinosaur, News 6 anchor Justin Warmoth said.
Is that real? News 6 anchor Kirstin OConnor asked upon first viewing the video.
Yes, its real, Joiner told News 6 social media producer Shannon McLellan.
Joiner estimated the gator to be at least 12 feet long. When asked about the beasts weight, Joiner said, Huge!
It seems too big to be real. Thats crazy, OConnor said.
Nature at its best, Joiner posted on Facebook.
Perhaps it should have said, Nature is a beast.

Last year, a gigantic gator roaming a Lakeland golf course created headlines after a 10-year-old boy snapped photos of the creature.
