I'm thinking the alligator didn't approve of his picture being taken?

Memory cards being solid state and quite resilient. Being inside the camera would give it a far bit of protection, and I'm assuming it was fresh water rather than salt water which meant it could survive the 8 months.... but yes amazing none the less.

There was a report, might even been on the gadget show, showing just how tough these little cards are. Amazing report

I would have thought a quick spray and rub down with Mr Muscle would have sorted it..
