So this is scary -- a gator lurking in the water near a Tampa dog park

A viewer captured this video near Picnic Island.

TAMPA -- Here’s something you don’t often see at the beach – a gator!

The video was from earlier this month. Viewer Andrea Walker captured a clip of what she believed to be an 11-foot alligator in the water near the dog park at Picnic Island.

Needless to say, everyone pulled their dogs out of the water and watches as the gator cruised the shoreline for about an hour.
