Summer is rapidly approaching, and chances are, for most people, the need for a beach day is growing stronger and stronger.
That appeared to be the case as well recently for an Alabama alligator who remained unthreatening and simply drank in the Dauphin Island atmosphere amongst dozens of other beachgoers.
The gator was first spotted surfing along the waves in the shallow areas near the shoreline.
“It didn’t hiss, charge or open its mouth at all,” Matt Harvill told KATV. Harvill was among the many tourists enjoying some sand and sun right alongside the unexpected reptile. “It seemed like it was kind of spectating and seeing what was going on.”
Alligators easily adapt from fresh to saltwater so gators in the ocean are not all that uncommon.
However, despite this particular gator being so chill, Harvill still wasn’t taking any chances. “I don’t want to step foot in the water after that,” he said.
