The video shows how the alligator swims in ocean water, after which it goes ashore and goes into the interior of Big Hickory Island.

According to the woman, she saw the alligator on this island for the first time, she added that these reptiles are extremely rare in this territory.

According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, alligators are extremely rare to be found on the ocean coasts, as they are freshwater animals.

“There are many animals that you can meet when you swim in the ocean. Alligators are not one of them,” the agency explained.

“Alligators can tolerate salt water for hours or even days, but they are primarily freshwater animals that live in marshy areas, rivers, streams, lakes and ponds,” the agency added.
