WATCH: Massive alligator captured in waves at Florida beach
New video shows Florida Fish and Wildlife capturing a massive alligator that was taking a swim at a Florida beach.
DELRAY BEACH, Fla. - A massive alligator taking a swim at a Florida beach was pulled from the waves in Delray Beach on Wednesday.
Florida Fish and Wildlife (FWC) says they received calls about a nuisance alligator at the beach. When they arrived, an FWC trapper – with the help of police and fire rescue – pulled the alligator from the waves. The gator was transferred to a farm.
FWC says while the American alligator prefers freshwater lakes, slow-moving rivers, and wetlands, they can tolerate saltwater for short periods.
