WINTER HAVEN, Fla. — Terri Wilson was enjoying a recent Sunday morning at the Swiss Golf and Tennis Club in Winter Haven, when she witnessed a confrontation that could only happen in wild Florida.
A sandhill crane went on the attack when an alligator came too close to its family on the green.
The unafraid crane spread its wings real wide, and the scared gator wasn’t having it. It turned tail and the beautiful bird escorted the beast all the way to a nearby pond.
