The sighting in Treasure Island, Florida, resulted in a beach PSA after police investigated the sandy 'reptile'
A police force on the west coast of Florida was caught by surprise after investigating what appeared to be a large 'alligator' lounging on a sandy beach.

Officers with the Treasure Island Police Department, who stumbled upon the scaly and strangely-still reptile, had realized it was actually a detailed sand sculpture.

The incident happened on Thursday evening and the police department shared a snapshot of the gator sand sculpture to Twitter and Facebook on Friday, May 12.
