Water HAZARD. Retrieve your golf ball at your own risk.

I took this picture on a vacation in Florida. I was walking my dog on a golf course in Daytona Beach when we spotted this alligator following us from a water hazard. I had been warned not to let my dog go to the water's edge for a drink. Many have lost their dog from alligator attacks.
