Video footage captures what appears to be ‘crocodiles’ just off the coastline at Blue Dolphin Caravan Park, between Cayton Bay and Filey
Mrs Craven said: “We took the boys up for a walk on the cliff top when we saw some dolphins jumping in the background.
“Suddenly, my son shouted ‘crocodiles!’. We all looked down and there in front of me were what I thought were two large crocodiles.“If a closer look is taken you can see the back legs swimming. I saw both front legs and back legs with long pointy tails swishing behind, the skin looked bumpy like crocodile or alligator skin.
Angela Julian, Co-ordinator at Amphibian and Reptile Groups UK, said: “It is extremely unlikely that she has spotted actual living crocodiles in the North Sea - lovely as the idea sounds.“Generally they are a tropical riverine or lake taxa and we definitely don’t have any native. “Therefore the possibilities are either that they have been dumped in which case they will not survive for long, or they are plastic ones - which often happens.
