It’s no secret that the great outdoors can be a wild, dangerous place.
This latest incident proves once again that Mother Nature is not to be trifled with.
A group of golfers were minding their own business on a sunny Florida course, when suddenly their peaceful day took a terrifying turn.
Out of nowhere, an alligator emerged from the murky water, charging full speed at their golf cart as they passed by. The golfers, so shocked, swerved out of the way nearly plunging into the nearby pond!
They say there’s no such thing as a fair fight, but this gator didn’t seem to care about the size difference.
Indeed, the golfers were no match for the prehistoric predator, who clearly had revenge on its mind after centuries of being used as a hazard for golfers. Thankfully, everyone escaped without getting hurt!

In another incident, a moose decided to attack some skiers who got too close. Males (bulls) can stand up to 6 feet tall at the shoulder and can weigh up to 1,500 pounds. Despite their size, moose can run at speeds of up to 35 miles per hour and are surprisingly agile and fast on land. These skiers got just got by!
