Alligator Cannibalism: Shocking Everglades Mother's Day Event

An alligator's shocking Mother's Day meal in Florida's Everglades National Park has captivated onlookers and sparked discussion about the harsh realities of nature. A tour guide, witnessing the event, stated, "He didn’t listen. That’s what happens when kids are naughty and misbehave." The guide's words, while humorous, highlight the survival-of-the-fittest dynamic within alligator populations. A 2011 study by Florida Fish and Wildlife found that 91% of cannibalism victims were juveniles under 3 years old. This incident serves as a stark reminder of the natural world's often brutal beauty.
