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.
