Croc & Gator Update

Alligators, crocodile seen on brevard county beaches -- chicagotribune.com: "Beachgoers might not be surprised to see a shark in the surf, but a different pair of predators has appeared on the Brevard County coast.

A rare American crocodile was captured at the Cocoa Beach Pier last Friday and there have been at least two separate alligator sightings in the ocean this week. One of the reptiles left its tracks in the sands of Satellite Beach.

Steven Harp, a professional photographer, followed the Satellite Beach gator, as it swam in the surf. It was the first time he ever saw one in salt water.

'You could tell the salt water was bothering his eyes. He was holding his head pretty high out of the water, not swimming like they normally do,' Harp said."
