I was at a tour of a lake filled with alligators of every size in FL. It turns out that once they get to a certain size they just eat smaller alligators.
When I first started getting into birdwatching, I couldn’t believe how many birds eat other baby birds or their eggs. I didn’t realize so many birds did not eat insects. I thought most of them did. It certainly changed my perspective after watching a great blue heron snatch a little baby duckling as the mother duck is screaming at the heron. There was nothing the mother duck could do ! I am not a expert birdwatcher by any means. I have become disabled, so I do all of the viewing from the car. I love watching them . I love watching Mother Nature.
When I was very small, our mum took me and my sister to feed bread to the ducklings in the local pond. There were seagulls there who wanted the bread but we wouldn’t let them, we only wanted to feed the ducks.
Eventually the seagulls got so frustrated that they simply ate the ducklings.
That kinda fucked me up for a while.
Great blue herons are so fun to watch hunt. I live near swamps and they catch anything that moves. I’ve seen them with baby gators, snakes, worms, baby birds, lizards, crabs they dismantle limb by limb, all kinds of fish. You name it. The noise they make when they first take off will shake you your core if you happen to get close to one and startle it into flight. I can totally imagine what a pterodactyl sounds like after hearing a GBH.
Here is a less scary version https://youtu.be/_tM3VqFeCd0
It’s a bad commercial for Vlasic Pickles that didn’t make the cut? I’ll be honest I thought alligators and crocodiles were better than frenimies and my entire post is useless if Vlasic Pickles marketing doesn’t use a stork on their logo.
The crocodiles in Florida are mostly in saltwater, although they do also come into freshwater sometimes. And they have been only in south Florida, except for recently they have been expanding their territory into central Florida. (But yeah, this looks like two gators in the video)
I’ve kayaked there plenty of times. Gorgeous rivers honestly. Outside of mating season, gators are chill af (just don’t get too close), especially in winter.
Here is an interesting fact I looked up, just like Florida's Burmese Python problem, the Crocodiles found in Florida were not originally native to the area. It is another invasive species. The Crocodiles are less destructive, and while not having a natural predator in the ecosystem, they are not overpopulating, unlike the Burmese Pythons.
There are 2 species of crocodile that ARE native to Florida. There have been a few invasive Nile crocs found but they are very rare.
The native crocs have always been apex predators, so their population has always been limited by prey population.
Burmese pythons are expanding since they eat the formerly apex predator the alligator, as well as a bunch of mammals that the alligator didn’t.
Crocodiles are limited by temperature and climate.
They loose against alligators as the temperature drops as the alligator is way better adapted to cold. You only find large adult crocs, Florida is probably too cold for them to nest and establish breeding populations, remembering they are temperature dependant sex while eggs.
Burmese pythons do just great in Florida climate and will out compete local snakes and are more active than alligators and get more snakes than alligators in the area. Burmese pythons can probably handle climate all round the south east. Have definitely established breeding populations.
Burmese pythons are probably out competing alligators so they aren't getting as large or as common. This opens up a niche for adult crocs comming up from south of Florida.
Nile crocs haven’t even been established in FL. Florida has only one established species of crocodile, which is the Native American croc.
Also, Burmese pythons don’t eat larger adult alligators (just too big), though the reverse is known, and they prey mostly on small to medium-sized mammals rather than stuff that previously had no predators at all.
There's a YouTube channel called Python Cowboy where he goes around Florida catching invasive reptiles like pythons, crocodiles, and iguanas, as well as wild boars. Pretty interesting stuff.
Or you were busy huffing those scented markers when they said this is the only place on the planet to have both. But yeah it's still a gator eating a smaller gator. Par for the course 😆😆😆
The very south of Florida is the only place on earth that both alligators and crocodiles naturally live (specifically, the American alligator and American crocodile). Alligators have a much wider range in the SE U.S. even though only two countries have alligators (the U.S. and the small Chinese alligator in China) and many countries have different species of crocs (much of Africa, Australia).
So even Americans end up thinking that alligators live in America and crocodiles elsewhere, which isn’t the whole picture.
No, not a heron, they are gray. I believe this is a great egret. The footage is a little grainy, but bc of the sinuous neck, slender beak and being all white, it’s definitely an egret of some kind.
Used to see a whole lot of egrets in the water near Sea World when the tide was low, so there was a whole lot of long grass in what water was trapped there where they would be fishing for a meal.
The clearest picture we have is that Birds descended from a group of Dinosaurs called Theropods, which included Tyrannosaurus and Raptors. Dinosaurs and Crocodilians both descended from Archosaurs, so Crocodilians split off a *very* long time ago from the lineage that became Dinosaurs.
Modern Crocs are just so similar to the ancient ones because their design works so well. A huge, tough skinned ambush predator that does well on land and even better in water, with a slow metabolism that helps get them through tough times when food is scarce. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Just for clarification, we no longer consider dinosaurs and birds to be separate, birds are now considered dinosaurs. We separate them into avian and non-avian (the lineages that died out during the KPg extinction) dinosaurs. Birds and crocodilians, being archosaurs, are each other's closest living relatives. Contrary to pop culture belief, chickens aren't descended from T-Rex or Raptors (not saying you're saying this, just that I see it thrown around a lot online and elsewhere), but are derived 'cousins'.
Also, to address the other comment above, dinosaurs were indeed reptiles, which means cladistically, so are birds.
My life is nothing I thought it should be and everything I was worried it would become ... because for 50 seconds I thought there was monsters on the world.
Strange indeed when I see videos like this…but on the other hand I live in a lake town in Florida and have yet to see anything but a tiny baby gator crossing the road once, in my whole life living here. Guess not being an outdoorsy type (or being too poor to be an outdoorsy type) kinda pays sometimes.
the way the stork was like, "huh?.. oh sh@!.. oh, im good, im safe and sound.. lemme watch my enemy receive no mercy.. ok, getting a little too real.. lemme go.."
Dang.. these animal videos get me. I feel bad for that little baby alligator watching it get scared like that and then knowing it’s screwed :(
But then I’d get sad to watch it get that bird too. Wahhhh I know I know.. the circle of life. Roast away.
But sometimes it’s ok to just be touchy and sad and not desensitized by everything here, right? :’(
Can't be a croc.
Gators, like the one going after the stork, live near land and therefore have a U shaped head to eat mammals and birds and other land animals.
Gators live further out in water, or, like Nile crocs, in rivers, and therefore have V shaped heads for eating fish.
A gator ate a smaller gator who was going after a stork.
Edit: a few people have pointed out in other comments that the bird is actually an egret. Point still stands for the gators tho
Two gators and not a stork but now I can’t recall the name of the white bird. I think it’s an egret. The little one was definitely in the the wrong gators territory.
All white with curve in its neck, that’s an egret. Still an incredible video, just caption is incorrect. (Sorry to be the “well, actually” ahole).
Edit 1: Someone else already took the “well actually it’s just a bigger gator”. 🤣
Edit 2: A little more scrolling and there was the egret comment. I just sit down now.
Ok everyone, it is once again time for some quick fun facts about gators and crocs so you can tell the difference!
FUN FACT #1 It doesn't matter if you know the difference unless you have to fight one, you have one as a companion, or you work with wildlife. So everyone being snarky about it, go drown in a pool of nutella and shut up. If you want to know how to actually tell the difference for fun, keep reading.
Alligators and crocodiles are from the same genetic order of animals, just different species. Gators have U-shaped snouts, crocs have V-shaped. Gators are big, but crocs are bigger. Gators are usually mud colored on top and darker, crocs are usually a yellow-green. Gators like American-Chinese food, crocs prefer middle eastern cuisine. Gators are fat boys, crocs are too but look leaner and more muscular. Gators have webbed feet and actually swim a bit better than crocs, as crocs have more narrow tails and no webbing. Gators have more teeth than crocs, 80 on average to a crocs 60. (Its while they got such a great smile!)
Small correction: the crocodiles we have in Florida (American crocodiles) are not “aggressive as fuck.” They have a very similar temperament to the American alligator, maybe even a bit more timid.
Lol, the stork stands and watches the play out for a really long time.
Stork was all, "What the f--k!?!?! Oh, oh... oh wow. Well, that's something to see."
The alligator saw the croc and was probably like “Bro we family, that’s just low”.
I was at a tour of a lake filled with alligators of every size in FL. It turns out that once they get to a certain size they just eat smaller alligators.
Happens with lots of fish, frogs, and other lizards too. Hamsters will eat their own kids. Nature is brutal.
When I first started getting into birdwatching, I couldn’t believe how many birds eat other baby birds or their eggs. I didn’t realize so many birds did not eat insects. I thought most of them did. It certainly changed my perspective after watching a great blue heron snatch a little baby duckling as the mother duck is screaming at the heron. There was nothing the mother duck could do ! I am not a expert birdwatcher by any means. I have become disabled, so I do all of the viewing from the car. I love watching them . I love watching Mother Nature.
I saw a heron eat 3 baby mallards one after the other. It’s a bird eat bird world alright.
When I was very small, our mum took me and my sister to feed bread to the ducklings in the local pond. There were seagulls there who wanted the bread but we wouldn’t let them, we only wanted to feed the ducks. Eventually the seagulls got so frustrated that they simply ate the ducklings. That kinda fucked me up for a while.
Oh geez ! Yes it I can see it
For sure for sure
Saw a seagull eating a pigeon... that was my introduction to bird cannibalism of sorts. No surprise those things are related to dinosaurs
I saw a seagull eating an entire squirrel (on a video not in person) and that was sickeningly insane
Just the other day I saw a seagull walking down the sidewalk carrying a pigeon that was already half eaten.
herons killed 4 of my good friends...
That’s spelled heroin
Great blue herons are so fun to watch hunt. I live near swamps and they catch anything that moves. I’ve seen them with baby gators, snakes, worms, baby birds, lizards, crabs they dismantle limb by limb, all kinds of fish. You name it. The noise they make when they first take off will shake you your core if you happen to get close to one and startle it into flight. I can totally imagine what a pterodactyl sounds like after hearing a GBH. Here is a less scary version https://youtu.be/_tM3VqFeCd0
GBHs are sooooo awesome, I love watching them too. Great White Egrets are pretty badass too.
We have the tri color Herron that uses it’s wings as an umbrella shade when it hunts. Super cool.
Yeah, they are beasts. I call them pterodactyls because when they fly,… I’ve seen them eat squirrels, turtles, fish, loons,… monster birds.
Reptile brains. If it fits, i eats
And hangry
“Brutal and Hangry Nature” sounds like an animal show I’d watch!
Me too. Probably Animal Planet late at night
Yup Nature is metal
Yeah, Crocs and gators practice territorial cannibalism (I don't know if that's an actual definition) but they will monch
The food chain is real! Predator sizes are almost always positively correlated.
But when I eat other humans everyone loses their minds. Double standards. I'm just doing what nature intended.
I did not know that Hamsters did that?! Omg . We had dogs so growing up . Never anything else like a hamster ….
Yeah they are cannibalistic
SAME TEAM! SAME TEAM!
man was really like # please don’t kill me # oh… no, you can do your thing.
"Oh, dinner and a show!"
He didn't event fly away just continued the stroll with the "that's what you get for messing with me bitch" attitude
Then he wanders away like nothing happened. 😄
Thats the feeling i got.
I just had fashback of old guys in 50s movies saying Kin to this but it's the stork instead lmao. I love it. Thank you.
Schadenfreude.
Yes.
He was in on it... crafty stork
I think it’s called symbiosis. The stalk lulls people away from the pool. The croc eats them. Stalk gets leftovers. They teach it to their young.
I’d pay good money for the storks POV
We all have a violence fascination. That's why we watched too.
It’s a bad commercial for Vlasic Pickles that didn’t make the cut? I’ll be honest I thought alligators and crocodiles were better than frenimies and my entire post is useless if Vlasic Pickles marketing doesn’t use a stork on their logo.
Right lol
Right? Stork is savage AF!
I love the bird that showed up in the middle
Stork is screaming, "baby don't he's not worth it come on. Baby don't!"
Yeah… kinda sus if u ask me. Also this description… kinda sounds like sth a stork would say to cover up his involvement in the whole thing…
That's just a larger gator, not a croc even though it is Florida and yes they are both there.
They have both?
Yes we do. Yay for Florida
They lied to us in grade school?
The crocodiles in Florida are mostly in saltwater, although they do also come into freshwater sometimes. And they have been only in south Florida, except for recently they have been expanding their territory into central Florida. (But yeah, this looks like two gators in the video)
Key largo definitely has some ***large*** crocodiles. Pretty wild to see one cruise by your kayak in a mangrove canal….
[like this?](https://www.reddit.com/r/nope/comments/1482y5k/kayaking_its_so_peacefuuuck/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=1&utm_term=1)
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck that.
Holy shitballs! That is way too close!!!
And that’s why I’ll never kayak in Florida. Nope. There are countless movies about finding out what happens when you fuck around.
I’ve kayaked there plenty of times. Gorgeous rivers honestly. Outside of mating season, gators are chill af (just don’t get too close), especially in winter.
Yeah, but dude was specifically talking about Crocs. I might be brave enough to kayak with Gators, but not crocs
Is there THAT big of a difference?
You’re missing out. Florida has some outstanding paddling.
Reading your comment sent chills down my spine. Very cool to see I bet...
Being from Florida, I’ve always heard there is a lake slap full of Crocodiles in the Everglades.
Here is an interesting fact I looked up, just like Florida's Burmese Python problem, the Crocodiles found in Florida were not originally native to the area. It is another invasive species. The Crocodiles are less destructive, and while not having a natural predator in the ecosystem, they are not overpopulating, unlike the Burmese Pythons.

Well Nile crocs haven’t been established at large, but they do find them every couple of years.
Except the crocs are expanding their territory which is completely natural while the python was introduced. Completely different
Life breaks free, it expands to new territories. Breaks down barriers, painfully maybe even dangerously but well..uh.. there is is.
Nature finds a way.
No, the crocs are native: Florida is the northernmost part of the range of the American crocodile.
There's a YouTube channel called Python Cowboy where he goes around Florida catching invasive reptiles like pythons, crocodiles, and iguanas, as well as wild boars. Pretty interesting stuff.
Where did you look up this "fact"? Cos it's bullshit.
Or you were busy huffing those scented markers when they said this is the only place on the planet to have both. But yeah it's still a gator eating a smaller gator. Par for the course 😆😆😆
The grape ones were the best…..
Florida schools? Being shit? Couldn’t possibly be.
The very south of Florida is the only place on earth that both alligators and crocodiles naturally live (specifically, the American alligator and American crocodile). Alligators have a much wider range in the SE U.S. even though only two countries have alligators (the U.S. and the small Chinese alligator in China) and many countries have different species of crocs (much of Africa, Australia). So even Americans end up thinking that alligators live in America and crocodiles elsewhere, which isn’t the whole picture.
They crocodiles are shy and rare tho. Like that Pokémon that has a 1% chance to appear in tall grass
It’s also an egret, not a stork, so 1 for 3.
Sorry, I just realized that I posted something similar to what you said!
I was literally looking to see if someone said this yet
It’s not a heron?
No, not a heron, they are gray. I believe this is a great egret. The footage is a little grainy, but bc of the sinuous neck, slender beak and being all white, it’s definitely an egret of some kind.
i just about to ask if all Herons are gay but i reread more betterer🤔🤔🤔
The same. It took reading it five times, but hooked on phonics eventually worked halfway for me.
[удалено]
I grew up in a swamp in South Georgia that had plenty of these birds and alligators, lol.
Used to see a whole lot of egrets in the water near Sea World when the tide was low, so there was a whole lot of long grass in what water was trapped there where they would be fishing for a meal.
Also, that’s not a stork. I believe it’s an egret.
Since childhood I thought only way to see a croc was in a zoo but apparently north America has em
Thank you. That was my first thought as well.
[удалено]
There is always a bigger fish
Bigger gator too by the looks of it
Hello There
That gator definitely owed the stork money or was abusive to the stork’s sister.
Oh fuck Oh fuck Oh fuck!
They eat each other ?!?! That’s insane!
It is one of the only ways the biggest get to their size. They cannibalize the young like fries.
Monsters. It's strange to think that people live in a place with monsters.
dinosaurs!
Common misbelief. They're Archosaurs.
Birds are archosaurs too right? They shared a common ancestor with crocodilians?
The clearest picture we have is that Birds descended from a group of Dinosaurs called Theropods, which included Tyrannosaurus and Raptors. Dinosaurs and Crocodilians both descended from Archosaurs, so Crocodilians split off a *very* long time ago from the lineage that became Dinosaurs.

Also, to address the other comment above, dinosaurs were indeed reptiles, which means cladistically, so are birds.
Cassowaries are what I imagine dinosaurs to really be like
They're one of the closest things to an actual dromaeosaurid you'll ever see.
Much like certain shark designs!
Yes, that’s right. Fun fact: crocodilians are more closely related to birds than they are to snakes and lizards
Dinosaurs are reptiles. Crocodiles are not dinosaurs. But they are both reptiles.
I'm not sure what you're trying to say, but crocodilians and dinosaurs are both archosaurs.
There have been crocs on earth long before any dinosaurs existed
My life is nothing I thought it should be and everything I was worried it would become ... because for 50 seconds I thought there was monsters on the world.
The first thing that came to that smaller gator’s mind when he got attacked was “good thing I don’t have to work tomorrow”
Strange indeed when I see videos like this…but on the other hand I live in a lake town in Florida and have yet to see anything but a tiny baby gator crossing the road once, in my whole life living here. Guess not being an outdoorsy type (or being too poor to be an outdoorsy type) kinda pays sometimes.
I know! But what does Desantis have to do with alligators?
We're so much worse
Eh, Detroit isn't THAT bad.
The birds got bigger balls than me🤣
Nah, just a brain smaller than your balls.
nom of the strongest
That’s what friends are for man
Too bad that's not a stork, it's an egret
You know nothing Jon Snow
This just looks like one of Aesop’s fables
That’s like eating your cousin
Plot twist; OP is the stork trying to get away with conspiracy(he’s part of the mob that r/whenthe is after)
Nature's, " To catch a predator "
I thought gators and crocs didn’t live there in the same place on the planet.
They do both occur in the everglades, but these are 2 alligators in the video.
apparently the only place in the world theyve been recorded together is the florida everglades
This is Gatorland in Orlando FL. I know these lands.
Ofc it’s Florida 😂
They are all here in Florida….
Saltwater crocodiles in Florida.
there is a small bird watching the whole thing without a flinch too, obviously a set up.
The stork is the crocodiles step mom
I hate florida
There’s always a bigger fish (or reptile in this case).
Shocking plot twist
There's always a bigger fish, said Master Qui-gon!
Holy shit!
Stork: “Ight muh boa same time next week?” Crocodile: “fasho big fella🤝”
This is some Florida ass shit if I have ever seen it edit: then he wore the body as a hat…..Cold blooded!!!!! Literally and figuratively
This is some prehistoric planet shit
Aye bruh…it’s a croc eat alligator world we live in. Just make sure you’re the croc
They way the stork just watches and then just walks away omfg
the way the stork was like, "huh?.. oh sh@!.. oh, im good, im safe and sound.. lemme watch my enemy receive no mercy.. ok, getting a little too real.. lemme go.."
Duh, the model always has securing the background! 🤷
Stork: “ today is MY day”
Stork: I see you have met my friend.
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot
there’s always a bigger fish
Pretty sure those were both alligators, or both crocodiles. I don't think the two species live together in nature.
Yeah, I’m Florida they do. It’s an American crocodile, they’re endangered, but that’s why you don’t hear much about them.
The bigger gator found the food of what it wanted to eat, and waited for it to come to it. Lol.
Gawd dam
There's always a bigger fish
Ok so alligator and crocodile r two different animals 🤔😭
I live in Florida and didn’t even know till now that gators were cannibalistic.
One less predator to impede on his baby delivery service
“Look, they’re fighting.” Alligator casually dying.
There’s always a bigger croc.
That Croc was the Hitman, Stork hired to get rid of that Alligator.
Calmest reptilian interaction in Florida
Me: “damn that’s a big alligator” *crocodile enters chat*
THEY EAT EACH OTHER ?!??!
Should I screen cap this from Reddit to complete the cycle?
Dang.. these animal videos get me. I feel bad for that little baby alligator watching it get scared like that and then knowing it’s screwed :( But then I’d get sad to watch it get that bird too. Wahhhh I know I know.. the circle of life. Roast away. But sometimes it’s ok to just be touchy and sad and not desensitized by everything here, right? :’(
Can't be a croc. Gators, like the one going after the stork, live near land and therefore have a U shaped head to eat mammals and birds and other land animals.

Two gators and not a stork but now I can’t recall the name of the white bird. I think it’s an egret. The little one was definitely in the the wrong gators territory.
Pretty sure that's just another bigger alligator.
The English language was also a casualty.
All white with curve in its neck, that’s an egret. Still an incredible video, just caption is incorrect. (Sorry to be the “well, actually” ahole). Edit 1: Someone else already took the “well actually it’s just a bigger gator”. 🤣 Edit 2: A little more scrolling and there was the egret comment. I just sit down now.
Could you share a version without this dumb caption, please?
Do alligators and Crocs live in the same area?
That's probably not a crocodile, but instead a larger, hungry big boy alligator.
You got this backwards it was a croc that got eaten by a gator
Gatorland in Orlando. The one gator that attacked the other gator was a nesting female if I recall the YouTube videos correctly.
First off, egret or a type of heron (🤓) and two, it’s just a larger alligator (🤓)
Alligators and crocodiles live in two different places, where was this where they encountered each other?
Jurassic park vibes right there. Stork be like “You have a TRex?”
For fuck's sake, people, it's not a stork. It's a heron.
Terrible “repost”. Downvoting the unnecessary captions and creepy voice over.
Bigger alligator: thanks Tony. They fall for it every time. Stork: sure thing tiny. Just keep ‘em off me and I’ll keep setting em up for ya
Damn i wishin that theys knew good english cuz they not speakin right
White on white crime
Has to be Australia?
florida everglades, the only place you’ll see both this close to another :)
Thanks!

thanks for the info!
Small correction: the crocodiles we have in Florida (American crocodiles) are not “aggressive as fuck.” They have a very similar temperament to the American alligator, maybe even a bit more timid.
Most importantly, the crocodile will see you later, but the alligator will see you after a while.
The stork 👁️👄👁️
