But when an alligator decided to go surfing in South Carolina, it got some attention.     https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1020465294... &amp;quot; data-width=&amp;quot;350&amp;quot;&amp;amp;gt;  ABC News reports\u00A0that an alligator washed ashore on the beach at Pawleys Island, South Carolina. Different reports measure it at 9 feet or 7 feet, but either way, this thing was huge. The gator would go back and forth from deeper water to the shore, causing a commotion from the vacationers getting some sun.    https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1020465294... &amp;quot; data-width=&amp;quot;350&amp;quot;&amp;amp;gt;  Animal control ended up taking two hours to wrangle it, lasso it, and take it away from the beach. It was the second time the police in the area had needed to get rid of an alligator. Sadly, according to CarolinaLive.com, the alligator couldn&amp;#039;t be relocated and ended up being killed.\u00A0&amp;quot;Generally, nobody wants an alligator on their property, so when you try to move an alligator and you don&amp;#039;t know exactly where it came from, it generally may end up in a place that you don&amp;#039;t want it anyway,&amp;quot; wildlife biologist Dean Cain told the website.\u00A0    https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1020465276... &amp;quot; data-width=&amp;quot;350&amp;quot;&amp;amp;gt;  Alligators don&amp;#039;t usually frequent the ocean, but according to KGO-TV, they can handle salt water for as long as a few days at a time.\u00A0    https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1020465276... &amp;quot; data-width=&amp;quot;350&amp;quot;&amp;amp;gt;  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
