Chubbs the alligator is quite a sight when he strolls across a golf course in Palmetto, Fla.

The slow-moving, chunky reptile has long been a resident of Buffalo Creek Golf Course, about 20 miles north of Sarasota. But when a video of him surfaced online in 2016, it quickly went viral.

If you watch him in action, you can see why: Chubbs is a massive presence as he “high walks” across the fairways and golf cart pathways, slowly making his way from a reservoir to other lakes across the 18-hole course. Online, people suggested he looked as if he were straight out of “Jurassic Park,” or created through special effects, or maybe Photoshopped.

His very existence was questioned so much that websites like Snopes and PolitiFact fact-checked it. (Both rated the claim as true.) Ken Powell, a former regional manager for Pope Inc., which manages the public course, has the photos and videos to prove that the alligator exists. Chubbs, he said, is “very real, and very large.”

“The locals know him,” he said in an interview on Thursday. Chubbs was once again the center of attention this week after another video of him trudging along the golf course spread online.
