Facebook user Kim Joiner shared a video that is almost terrifying to see: a huge alligator ambles its way along a path as several people nearby watch.

A screengrab of the video Kim Joiner shared on Facebook of a large alligator ambling along at Circle B Bar Reserve.

Joiner shared the video with the Circle B Bar Reserve Facebook group on Sunday, Jan. 15. She commented, "I love Circle B. Nature at its best. Today on MMR."

The video has generated a lot of comments and views and has been shared on Facebook over 12,000 times.

Circle B Bar Reserve is a former cattle ranch located in Polk County. According to its website, the reserve has "a wide variety of plants and animals" and visitors are "almost guaranteed to see alligators in Lake Hancock."

It's not the first time that visitors have spotted large alligator activity at Circle B Bar Reserve. Last year, YouTube user Alex Figueroa shared video of an alligator chomping on a smaller gator at the park.
