What could be more relaxing? As the end of summer draws in on Florida's palm beach it's not unusual to see residents sedately paddling along with the aid of a pool float. It's a pursuit normally reserved by the healthy retirement community, but not normally alligators. Though that's exactly what has been photographed in Florida's Bayside canal
An alligator has been spotted doing lengths in a Florida neighbourhood on a bright yellow pool noodle.
The unusual scene was snapped by local Victor Perez, who had to double take when he saw the recreating reptile in the canal behind his house.
"I'm on my balcony, and all of a sudden, I see this noodle and there's a alligator hanging off of it," he told the Miami Herald.
