Wow! Awesome photo - but Gross! I knew they ate their young, but that one is fairly big to get eaten. But I do see them stay out of each other's way - now I see why!

Thanks. Yeah, and my wife agrees with you more than me. She got one look and walked away. Nature as it is a thousand times a day all over the world. Almost depressing, but the way the world works.

Didn't see the killing bite but heard the ruckus and caught these. One crushing bite to the head and it was all over. Then the bigger guy started towing lunch down the canal by it's head before changing to the left front leg.
Pretty interesting day!
Pretty interesting day!
Nature can be rough. Nice shots!

Thanks, Gene. Or survival of the biggest. I guess that's the same thing in some circumstances.

Great photos! Gator meat is very popular here in Louisiana. 😎
Yep. I haven't tried it yet but I was in Kenya in February just before the virus hit hard. Had a farewell dinner at the Carnivore restaurant in Nairobi. They served crocodile nuggets among other very interesting meats. The nuggets were pretty good!
I'm glad you liked the photos. Thank you.
