ENGLEWOOD, Fla. -- Goliath is back! A massive alligator has once again been spotted roaming the Myakka Pines Golf Course in Englewood, Florida. Earlier this month, photos of the seemingly larger than life creature stunned golfers all over the country.

The gator was nicknamed Goliath after a photo of him on the Myakka Pines Golf Club Facebook page went viral. He's gotten so popular that there's now even a Goliath t-shirt.

Goliath doesn't seem to bother golfers, but they always let the gator play through.

Club members say seeing gators on the course isn't unusual in Florida, although Goliath is an unusually big gator. He also seems to have an unusually big appetite (most recently he was seen snacking on a turtle).
