Florida alligator killing and eating another gator
Florida woman films giant alligator killing and eating another gator
A Florida woman got frighteningly close up to a moment of alligator cannibalism as she caught one gator eating another in the swamps of a state park.
The video, which she captioned 'Gator eating gator, Silver Springs' showed one alligator slapping another against the water before ripping it into pieces to eat while she recorded from a nearby paddleboard.
It then shows the predator gator rise from the water and begin to toss around the prey before fully chowing down.
Tammy Shaw posted the video to Alligators of Florida, a Facebook group, on August 10 after witnessing the incident on August 4.
Shaw told Yahoo News she was on an inflatable paddleboard about 11 feet in size, one that the attacking gator may have been even larger than.
Shaw summed it up: 'Kind of intense, but super cool to witness'.
She added that the gator being eaten was about five to seven feet long and was certainly smaller.
According to educational site Animal Club, cannibalism among gators is not uncommon, especially between larger and smaller members of the species as a matter of survivalism.
Live Science suggested that somewhere between six and seven percent of baby alligators are killed for food by other gators.
Shaw said that she had to eventually stop filming due to how close she was to the gator after he'd had his meal.
