Giant alligator is photographed on a Florida beach 

  • The huge size of the alligator stunned eye witnesses in the Florida wetlands
  •  Footage shows the 15-feet long reptile dwarfing a normal sized gator
  •  The beast could be the biggest recorded in the US – measured at 14ft in 2012 

A giant alligator, thought to be one of the largest on record, has been caught on camera by stunned onlookers at a Florida beach.

The beast was filmed emerging out of the wetlands, leaving eyewitnesses lost for words.

Footage shows the 15ft long reptile dwarfing a normal sized gator as they sit on the banks of the water.

The giant gator is estimated to be a whopping 15 feet long and dwarfed other gators surrounding it on the wetlands in Boynton Beach in Florida

Marcy Clarius (above) was out for a weekly walk when she spotted the monster gator climbing out of wetlands on March 23. If the estimated size of 15ft is accurate, it would mean this prehistoric beast is the biggest ever recorded gator in the US - measured at 14ft in 2012

 Marcy said: ‘This is the biggest gator I’ve ever seen.’

‘He must have been at least 15ft.’

‘I have been visiting Wako for around six seasons and have never seen a gator this big.

‘We thought George was the biggest. I guess we were all mistaken!’

With his nose only slightly appearing out of the water, the reptile looks like any standard alligator, not revealing the extent of his size until he hauled himself out of the lake.

The 66-year-old – who lives in Florida between the months of November-April due the brutal winter weather back home in Pennsylvania, USA – was only able to let out ‘oh my god!’ when the huge animal left the water.
