I’m not seeing any credible, verified reports of an alligator sighting today near Bob Sikes Bridge or Pensacola Beach. The current public results are unrelated or stale, so I would not treat social-media chatter as confirmed.

If you spot one—especially on the bridge approaches, shoreline, or a roadway—keep well back, don’t feed or approach it, and report an immediate traffic/public-safety hazard to 911. For a nuisance alligator that is over 4 feet or acting aggressively, use FWC’s Statewide Nuisance Alligator Program: 866-392-4286.

👉 Did you see the gator yourself, or are you trying to confirm a report near a particular side of the bridge?
