A Florida couple had a frightening encounter with an alligator while riding in a golf cart in Ave Maria, Florida, as captured in a recently recorded video by bystander Denise Prues. The footage shows the gator approaching the couple as they drove past, before opening its jaws and charging at them. The couple managed to swerve and avoid the alligator, which then entered a nearby pond. Prues, who recorded the incident, expressed shock at the encounter. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission advises residents to be cautious around bodies of water where alligators may be present, as bites can occur when people are not aware of their surroundings. The agency notes that alligators rarely cause serious injuries in Florida, but residents are encouraged to report any potentially threatening alligators to the FWC. Despite the unnerving experience, the couple in the golf cart escaped unharmed. For more information on lifestyle and wildlife news, visit www.foxnews.com/lifestyle.
