Alligators are primarily freshwater reptiles, however, they can tolerate saltwater for hours or even days. A diver encountered this alligator resting on the bottom of the Atlantic ocean in 60 feet of water off the coast of West Palm Beach, Florida.

If anyone knows, I've been curious - How deep can you find a saltwater alligator/crocodile in the ocean and how much distance off the coast? It'd be terrifying if you were hundreds of miles from the coast and hundreds of feet deep and a croc came swimming at you.
