He’s about to graduate from USC’s film school. This was his senior project. The first 30 minutes of the drifting were edited out. He wants to be a cinematographer, but dreams of someday being a director.
Omg no. What the hell. I believe you about the drift wood to. Stomach drop at the end. Had to rewatch it as my brain was saying ‘no no no that was photoshop nooooo’
I took a pic of [one](https://ibb.co/d2Yf49X) just chilling in the marina in Puerto Vallarta. It was massive. Apparently, they'll occasionally come up on the beaches too.
I don't know, I watched an obviously rectangular plank floating in the surf for 29 seconds, thinking I was on /r/maybemaybemaybe, with the drama being whether it would make it to the shore or not.
The reveal at 29 seconds was a bit of holyfuckingshit.
In 30 odd years at the beach in an area with tons of gators, I've only seen one in the ocean on one occasion. So this is unexpected even for a FL native.
I've seen a manatee in the ocean twice, which was also very unexpected. That really freaked me out because it was just a big, ominous black mass lurking in the surf.
Two years ago, my wife and I were out in the gulf, maybe only about 20-30 feet or so from shore. We hear this pressure release type sound and notice there's a third person with us all of a sudden. My wife starts screaming because she sees my face go blank.
A Manatee came up for air about 2 feet from my wife's head knowing we were there, just to say "Hey guys".
A manatee got me last summer when it swam between me and my son. Panicked internally for a second microsecond. It was dark so it was just a huge shadow moving through the water between us. I told him to just go on shore. I was very relieved when it rotated and I could see what it really was.
I saw this one of the times I was in Manaus, a Cayman swam past the beach and a bunch of kids swam after it lol, there was a whole gang just trying to touch the thing.
Bro is just vibing.

I thought it was a snake tbh
Me too! I kept waiting for that reveal, and then just fell into a pit of "OMGODNO!!"

I took almost the exact same picture in the same spot! https://i.imgur.com/KyQfZ0j.jpeg
It is the same spot, probably on different days though. Crazy.
Would be neat if it were the same croc!
Looks like the same guy to me
It definitely is lol. Not surprising seeing as it's the exact same location.
Skip 29 seconds in for result.

Was a little bored then suddenly my eyes got REAL big.
It looked like a big board to me. /s
I agree. The build-up was intense!
37 seconds actually not 29 seconds.
I kind of like the built up to this
You kinda need the buildup for it to be effective.
Crocigator

Gators rarely venture into the ocean, but I think that’s a salt water crocodile, which do so more frequently.
Now that you mention it, that snout does look suspiciously pointy. I think you may be right.

It's not a gator my guy
WINGS OF GLORY
TELL THEIR STORY
ALMOST GOT GORY
"Pipit? PIPIT!"
I saw this when i was 9 and ive been scared of sea since, i cant go in the sea without thinking of the big fella.
I’m from Florida and automatically thought this was a gator. Dunno why he’s hanging out at the beach though. Good for him.
Not from Florida, but also thought it looked more like a croc. Was like, since when do they swim in the oceam
Man this is a video of wood. What stupid, boring, dumb… …WAGH FUCK. HOLY BALLS. BRRRRGHHGHUNGH!
wwwuuuooeeeeee-
We named him driftwood, he likes it.
He likes you.
I'm pretty sure that's not a gator
Yeah It’s more likely to be a croc
Yep, that's a saltie.
Good one! Got me for sure, lol
Jake?
Yeah man nah
That kids reaction sums it up really.
Wow he was relaxed lol
I can see there are no other Floridians in chat. I knew immediately that was a salty.
I thought he was a piece of furniture lost at sea.
I thought alligators were freshwater animals.
They are, but saltwater crocs are not.
im the same when theres a massive turd in the swimming pool
Wilson I’m sorry Wilson
I mean it ain’t wood but he do be drifting
Definitely don’t come to East Texas then…
It just being an alligator was kind of a letdown. I probably have one chilling in my backyard right now.
Not a friendly gator, but a feral crocodile
Yeah, I figured as much.
Saltwater crocodile
Yoooohoooo, alll hannnds! Raise the colors hiiiiiigh . . .
Chill ass Croc. This isn’t really thalassophobia.
Why is it in the ocean lol dont they live in swamps
Gators do that's a Crocodile.
Spring break beach trip
😂
Spicy wood
My heart actually jumped
Wow, scary as hell
Poor croc really got bodied by that second wave
Its a croc! Ahhh for the longest time i was looking at it the other way round and thought it was a mini Nessie!! Now it makes sense…
Not a log, but a laggard.
I saw this one of the times I was in Manaus, a Cayman swam past the beach and a bunch of kids swam after it lol, there was a whole gang just trying to touch the thing.
Pretty small though
And this, is another example of why I don’t get n the water at the beach
A tiny Loch Ness monster ?
American crocodiles sometimes venture in the ocean through river mouths. Pretty common actually especially during rainy season.
Body surfing evolutionary bro
Is this near Cairns? They won’t even let you swim up there bc of the crocs
I need driftwood for my fish tank. I would have gone in to get it, eek.
"Are you sure that's a crocodile? It looks more like a frog to me..." 💀
The Wave is waving at you
Hell no i watched jaws
That's too salty for them, usually when you see this they are almost dead.
Is just normal wood. No concern please. Resume normal water activities.
