This one happened to make it into the house!

We probably shouldn't be shocked to see gators in the ocean, but it still blows my mind.

Imagine relaxing on the beach with your kids and seeing this giant monster come surfing in with the wave.

Where was it even coming from?

"I believe in leaving wildlife alone as much as possible. But if this is a tourist area for swimming, then of course most people wouldn't know the danger. Seems she would be relocated for safety between her and beach go-ers."
