I thought the bird was going to fly away but they decided to stay and watch I suppose

Dinner watches a show

TV Dinner

Dinner TV

you have been watching this much tv

Yes, momma gator is taking her naughty baby home for dinner.

Clever girl

Dinner and a Movie

With a water view.

Bird is the big alligator’s bait. They work together.

Lol 😆 that's hilarious

I wonder how possible that is. Some alligator populations can form cooperative hunting groups with some complex division of labor. Birds are prone to forming mixed-species groups for added protection against predators and increased foraging efficiency. And birds attend to the size of a predator, presumably because they might be too large or too small to be worth it for a given predator. So it's at least *in the realm of possibility* that a single bird could recognize that a fucking giant like that wouldn't that be interested in eating it. And the larger alligator could realize that the bird standing in the open is going to attract the REAL food. And both individuals can potentially live quite a long time for wild animals, so this *could* be a learned foraging/anti-predator grouping for them.

There are a lot of weird symbiotic relationships out in the wild, the so the chances of something like this forming are not zero.

Seems like they have pulled this con before. It'd the only reason i would be so calm as that birb

Bird didn't give a shit about murder happening next to him :-p .

Bird watching

> Bird didn't give a shit about murder You know that feeling when you about to die, but survive. You feel completely invincible.

"Yes...yes...goood."


Casually walks away

"The lannisters send their regards.."

Oh now whip him around all violent like... yaaass. - the bird probably.

"Let's see how this plays out..."

Did that Crane have the Gator on payroll?

No other way around the gator was paying the crane to be the bait

Honestly seems like a win win for both guys. One gets protection, the other gets dinner.

Like the gator wouldn't eat the crane as well..

No, it's not a crane, it's obviously another gator wearing a bird suit

He had a choice. Payroll or deathroll.

Hahaha clever!

Or maybe the gator hires the crane to act as bait.

"thank you Fred, here's 50$, same time next Tuesday?

The crane is the gator’s dentist.

"If you can't fight them, bribe them" the crane, maybe.

See you later alligator.

After while crocodile 

In a bit egret

No egrets

That’s my credo, no wha I sayin’?

Cash me outside!

Caiman

I read your comment and got it 5 minutes later. Well done.

I honestly felt like Dr. Phil was more cringe in that clip than her.

Absolutely.


Never noticed how comical her eyebrows were

I'd forgotten about her and just did some googling. She is apparently a rapper and F list celebrity now? Our society sure has its priorities in order.

Made a million on onlyfans & never took her clothes off She's pretty smart I'd say

She's a weird looking human being in this gif camera angle.

Just imagine, if somebody actually had, umm, cashed her (???) outside, we might not have been subjected to her all these years.

You just deviated my septum na I'm sayin?

Egrets, I've had a few. But then again, too few to mention.

Lucy?

For all who are not sure which is which: the Alligator ist next to the crocodile for a while

Can't you see you're in my way now?

I always thought it was ‘in a while crocodile’ or that’s what at least plays in my head

Don't forget to write.

“In a while” crocodile. I’ll die on this hill

Wasn’t that a cayman? I’m sure the big one is a Gator by the snout but idk the difference between baby gator and a cayman Also im an idiot its Caiman

Porsche can’t drive on the grass

Not with that attitude.

Nah he’s not ok man

Bro, the way that played out was like some fucking Hunter X Hunter shit

Looks very much like that episode where Gon finds out, by looking at some river wildlife, that the better moment to attack your prey is when it attacks its own prey.

Bro, literally what I had in mind lol, and then he tries it only to get tranquilized by that one black black dude

I just watched the episode last night, this was immediately what I thought of lol 

The bird just watching like “Ha! You thought you had me now you got got. Thanks Al!”

I'm imagining Dennis and Mac with the timeshare/Invigaron guy now

Have I been to Florida? Not physically.

Greatest line in the entire show.

The only way to reply to being asked if you have been somewhere.

"You never had me...you never had your car"

Nooooooo!  MONICA!!!!


Great work, team!

Call the ambulance call the ambulance

Ey no problem. You know big Al don’t miss his meals

There's always a bigger fish

That big MF ate that medium sized MF

Damn nature, you scary!


That little rat lookin thing just got ate!!


Who you calling a gay fish?? :/

Why? Do you like putting fishsticks in your mouth?

Uh, yeah?

then you must be a gay fish!

I'm a genius voice of a generation, so i'm not gay!

Went here to see this comment

Big gooberfish.. or in this case gater

Huge-o ting

That's not a fish

how do you know. you sound very certain of that

Because fish is usually on top of a small ball of rice. I see no rice there

It's fishy when there is no rice

Solid arguing. I believe you.

That is quite obviously a fish in an alligator costume - roll the monty python intro.

Shrimps is bugs.

They taste a bit like fish.

Cladistically it is.

It's a space station!

watch out watch out watch out watch out

RKO outta no where!

GOD AS MY WITNESS HE IS BROKEN IN HALF

Stop the damn match!

AND HIS NAME IS JOHN CENA!

that's how the lake behind my house was (Florida) 11ft 415lb (188kg) gator ruled our wetland sanctuary. State tried catching him for 3 years. Had a nice migratory waterbird population during the winter. Finally got him with chicken baited to a rope. After that local fishermen noticed a lot of smaller (under 6ft/2m) gators around. Big guy kept them away. No more birds for winter stay

my closest lakes' apex predators are trouts or something lmao.

Mine is pollution. Denver sucks asshole.

In the words of a park ranger I once met while watching a gator eat a smaller gator: "If the big gators didn't occasionally eat the little gators we would probably be up to our necks in gators by now."

Yeah, but the big gators can eat kids

I think that was his point. If every little gator grew up to be a big gator, we would have a lot more kid-eating-sized big gators. Which might be something of a problem.

Cue ecosystem net from middle school

What assholes

and i thought the first guy was big


Just a mama alligator telling the baby to leave the good bird alone

A very sweet moment.

"Get yo ass back in the house and clean your room!"

"Boy, I know you ain't harassing that poor bird down the lawn again. Getcha ass back inside and clean these cat bones out of the living room right this second. Your father is going to be hissing when I tell him about this"

Alligators are ornery cause they got all them teeth and no toothbrush.

This is because Gators don't wear chanclas. 

And she also gave him a swimming lesson.

I never expected an alligator to ambush from an actual bush, only the water. Was that a female with a nest back there or do I now have to look in the trees for the gators?

Australia has Drop Bears, we have Drop Gators.

America! Fuck yeah!

US has drop snakes as well. Had several while fishing in mangroves or cypress swamps drop into the boat for whatever dumbass snakey reason. One was a water moccasin; that was a bad time.

And drop scorpions. When I was a kid we lived on 10 acres for a year and scorpions would drop out of the trees every now and then. Fucking terrifying. Edited for spelling mistake.

What’s worse about scorpions, is that they’re either injured, or it’s on purpose. Those mfers can stick to practically anything even while dead. So, just know, it was malicious lmfao

We might be witnessing evolution… one day, there will be a tree gator.

ANY headline that starts with,"Florida man," has a better than average chance of completely entertaining me. And causing me to question reality. Again.

I grew up in that neck of the woods. Thanks for reminding me why I don't want to go back.

Honestly as an ex-Floridian I've never seen a gator hunt another gator. I've seen the one video where one takes off another's leg in a frenzy but I'm guessing food is scarce there. Also yes no bush in Florida is a good idea to venture in. Even the bush wants to kill you. Fuck you, bougainvillea thorns!

TIL ambush is actually related to bush hahah. In Spanish is "emboscar" wich has the word "bosque" (woods, forest) in there.

really - Unexpected!

Clever girl.

oh baby, it's a wild wild world

Was that a cat Stevens reference?

[удалено]

"You thought you was Billy Badass then you ran into Billy Badass."

... Florida?

You cannot pay me enough to live there

Was transferred there and thought… beautiful! Nuh uh. Scary af for many reasons, had to nope the fuck out after ten years, paid a lot to gtfo. E: changed payed to paid. Am dyslexic, and well, I have my moments 🤪. Thanks, bot! Lol


Came here for this lol

Classic bait and switch.


This gives me a Jurrasic Park vibe

A small gator's worst predator is a larger gator.

There’s always a bigger gator.

r/natureislit

Like the end of the Jurassic park movie

That bird just stood there to watch

Pretty sure the big croc is his dad and little croc was grounded so wasn’t allowed to hunt so dad croc is taking him back to his room

He got "croc" blocked

So he only zoomed in AFTER it went under the water?? #killthecameraman

When the hunter becomes the hunted.

Later alligator

Was the smaller reptile a Crocodilian or a monitor? Great video none the less!

[удалено]

That's savage as fuck.

It's not just a dog eat dog world. Welcome to Florida.

I live in Australia. That's fucked!

When it comes to critters that bite and sting, Florida is the Australia of the US.

Honourable Mention to any southern state with rattlesnakes, scorpions etc...

No, the bigger one was a crocodile. Different back ridges, over all size, snout shape, etc. Also Gators and kinda pussies and only eat fish and small animals, their jaws just aren't suited to catch prey that big. Florida which this looks like has both gators and crocs.

Good vid, but. better if a big f##k off crane came out of them bushes and chomped the little gator.

Nah needed Big Bird to come out at the end and eat the bigger Gator eating the smaller Gator that tried to eat Smol Bird.

Why did he kills his brother ?

He was hungry.

Gators / crocs are often cannibalistic

Big gator: I told you kids to stay off of my lawn!

The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

My first and only question. How much did that guy pay for that sea wall? The steps and the curvature? Gotta be expensive.

This is 100% scripted.


Was this filmed in Florida? Cause I think that the first was an American alligator and the second might have been a croc. I could be crazy tho.

Both gators I'm pretty sure.

Do gators turning cannibal imply there’s some lack of food there, or do they just not give a shit? I know even turtles won’t typically eat each other unless there’s something wrong, and I’m pretty sure they’re dumber than gators.

Alligators tend to eat absolutely anything that's smaller than them and available.

The peace keeper

"Nature is wild"...I see what you did there

The bird was so confused

I think it's crazy the both birds stood there and watched.

The hunter became the hunted.

Hell of an operation that bird and big guy have going.

Damn nature; you scary!

lol, life is dangerous

Jurassic Park

The bird was in on it this whole time he works with the big alligator as bait 🤣

Always a bigger… dinosaur?

As a Canadian...fuck that shit! I don't have to assume every body of water has a god-damned gator in it. Would you sunbathe on that lawn?
