Alligator strolls through tourists to go for swim in the sea

A baby alligator brazenly strolled through astonished tourists as it decided to go for a swim at a beach in Brazil.

The 5ft-long broad-snouted caiman emerged from the forest and crawled onto the sand of Praia da Daniela beach, ignoring sunbathers to make a beeline for the water.

Footage shows the nonchalant reptile strolling to the shore while holidaymakers look on in amazement.

The creature was spotted drifting on the waves as beachgoers watched it from the sand.
