HUUUGE Polk County Gator Goes Viral via Facebook

A massive alligator caused quite a stir when it took a weekend stroll in a Central Florida nature reserve.

A video posted to Facebook by Kim Joiner shows the huge alligator sauntering across a path at the Circle B Bar Reserve in Polk County, reportedly on Sunday. Visitors to the nature center can be seen capturing the unusual spectacle. They said it took a full half-minute for the prehistoric-looking creature to cross the road. 

“I love Circle B. Nature at its best,” Joiner wrote on the post, which has been shared more than 32,000 times.

Some Facebook commenters say the well-known gator is nicknamed Humpback on account of his large, curved back, FOX 13 reports.

Last year another enormous gator became a media sensation when it was spotted wandering around the Buffalo Creek Golf Course in Palmetto on the Gulf coast.
