Is it real or is it Photoshopped?

That's the question on a lot of people's minds as images of a giant, almost dinosaur-like, alligator have surfaced on the Internet. That alligator was supposedly spotted on the No. 7 green at Myakka Pines Golf Club in Englewood last Friday. While no one seems to have ventured a guess at the size of the creature in the photos shared on the course's Facebook page, one shot has had more than 300,000 views and has people talking from Florida to New York and beyond.

The images, snapped by players Bill Susie and Dick Huber, show the massive creature as it moved from one pond on the course to another. See Also:

765-Pound Monster Gator Bagged in Florida

Giant Shrimp Reeled In by Florida Fisherman While some doubt the veracity of the photos, Mickie Zada, the club's general manager, told The Blaze they are very real. In fact, she told the publication the course used to have a "much larger gator" in residence that was affectionately nicknamed "Big George." Alligators and Florida golf courses do seem to go together like peas and carrots with players constantly spotting the creatures in ponds and sunning themselves on banks. Even so, a gator as big as the one depicted in the Myakka Pines photos is a rare sight.

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission reports female alligators rarely grow bigger than 10 feet in length. Males can grow "much larger." The record in Florida is 14 feet, 3 ½ inches. That male was found in Lake Washington in Brevard County. Back in October, a 765-pound, 13-foot creature named "Lumpy" was bagged in North Florida.
