One alligator was spotted on the beach near Pensacola Bay Bridge, dipping into some ocean water. Alligators are freshwater creatures by nature.

Fort Myers saw a shark thrashing around one of its neighborhoods that flooded.

One man recorded an alligator wandering his neighborhood from inside his home, citing it as the reason he wouldn’t evacuate. Another woman photographed an alligator laying out on her driveway after the hurricane had already passed.

Florida’s Wildlife Commission reported 442 unprovoked bite incidents from alligators between 1948 to 2021, with 26 resulting in fatalities. During a two-week period in July, the state saw three separate alligator attacks. Alligators are found in every one of the state’s 67 counties.

“Remember, never feed an alligator and keep your distance if you see one,” the Wildlife Commission recommends on its website. “Swim only in designated swimming areas during daylight hours. And keep pets on a leash and away from the water.”
