Alligator feeding frenzy

Gator Stealth · 20th of June 2010 (Sun)

Yesterday morning at least 15 gators all decided to feed in the same general area all at once. I don't know how they decided this was the time, but they went at it for over two hours.

One small group here.

Crab was definitely the main catch of the day, but fish (including this flounder) were also on the menu.

If one gator caught something good, often another would head over at full steam and attempt to take the catch.

Besides feeding intensely, they also got a bit feisty with each other at times.

Somebody got the top of their nose bit.
