"He became enormous," Marc Scher said. "All I could think of was that I was looking at a prehistoric monster. It didn't look like a regular gator."

When describing the encounter, Marc Scher said he could feel the hair on his arms standing up. 

Commenters on The Villages Talk Facebook group speculated that the monstrous reptile was Larry, a large gator known to hang out in the area. Larry is a local celebrity in The Villages with his own Facebook page.
