6-foot alligator spotted on a golf course in Illinois

An alligator was spotted on a golf course in Illinois, and it's making some golfers nervous. The 6-foot alligator was seen sunning himself on the green at the Nickol Knolls Golf Course in Godfrey, about 10 miles north of St. Louis.

Course superintendent Brian Russell told KMOV that the alligator had been there for a few days and that officials were working to get it removed. "We're trying to contact some agencies that might be able to help us remove it," he said.

Alligators are common in the area, but they usually stay away from people. Officials said they didn't know how the alligator ended up on the golf course.

Some golfers said they were worried about playing on the course with an alligator lurking around. "It makes me a little bit scared, because I don't want to hit one or something and then have it attacking us," golfer Amber Randall told KMOV.

Officials said they would put up warning signs at the golf course while they worked to remove the alligator.

Texas woman wakes up to find alligator in her bedroom!

As if things weren't bad enough in Texas with historically high levels of flooding, now a woman has reportedly awoken to find an alligator in her bedroom! The unidentified woman is said to have live-streamed the frightening encounter on Facebook.

In the video, the woman shows an alligator about four feet long resting just inside her bedroom doorway. She exclaims, "Oh my God! There's a gator in my house!" as she backs away from the wild animal.

After a few minutes of unsuccessfully trying to get the alligator to leave, the woman eventually calls for help. A man identified as her brother arrives and uses a broom to prod the alligator out of the house. It's unclear how the alligator got into the woman's home in the first place, but authorities believe it may have come in through flooding waters.

This latest viral wildlife encounter is just one more indication of how dangerous Texas' floods are becoming. With so many people displaced by rising water levels and unpredictable weather patterns, it's only a matter of time before someone is seriously injured or killed by one of these animals.

Alligator found sunbathing on the banks of a Louisiana lake

Residents in the area surrounding Lake Pontchartrain were recently treated to an unusual sight: an alligator sunbathing on the banks of the lake.

The gator was caught on camera by local resident John Breaux as he walked his dog around the lake. In the video, the alligator can be seen lounging on a patch of grass with its mouth open, soaking up the sun's rays.

According to local experts, it's not uncommon for alligators to sun themselves in this way. Alligators are cold-blooded animals and need to warm up their bodies in order to digest food properly.

In addition to warming up their bodies, alligators also use sunbathing as a way to regulate their moods. Studies have shown that exposure to sunlight can elevate alligators' serotonin levels, making them feel happier and more contented.

So if you're ever lucky enough to spot an alligator sunbathing in Louisiana, don't be afraid – it's just doing what comes naturally!

12-foot alligator killed after wandering into a Florida neighborhood

Residents of a Florida neighborhood were shocked when an alligator, measuring 12 feet in length, wandered into the area. The alligator was eventually killed after a lengthy struggle with wildlife officials.

This is not the first time an alligator has been spotted in this particular neighborhood; however, it is the largest alligator to have been seen in the area. Alligators are known to roam around in search of food, and since this neighborhood is located near a large lake, it is not unusual for them to be seen here.

Despite being a common sight in Florida, alligators can be dangerous animals, and they should always be treated with caution. In fact, there have been several reports of alligators attacking humans in the state of Florida in recent years.

If you ever happen to come across an alligator while hiking or swimming in Florida, it is important to remember not to approach or provoke the animal. Instead, you should back away slowly and contact local authorities for assistance.
