Video shows Alligator, the Baby Gator in Floridas Everglades Essen

A tour group in Floridas Everglades came across a worrying sight on Mother's Day this year: they saw an adult alligator who called a baby gator in a “National Geographic moment”.

The video recorded by Kelly Alvarez shows how the adult on Sunday, May 11th, in the Shark Valley Everglades National Park, is mined on a baby alligator in the National Park of Shark Valley, as two young gators watch nearby. It was a tour guide to hear that the alligator eats his own children, although it is not clear that it really happened.

“An alligator mother will eat all babies when the conditions are bad – like a drought or no water. She is just a wild animal” Travel clerk Judith fine.
