Everything really is bigger in Texas, even the alligators.

An alligator measuring nearly 12 feet long was removed from the 13th hole of the River Point Golf Club in Richmond, Texas, Wednesday after club members were unable to retrieve their golf balls from his hangout.

The gator, named Chubbs, was removed from the course by a gator conservationist known as "Gator Chris" Stephens.
