No Foot, No Tail, No Problem || ViralHog

Occurred on May 20, 2023 / Lakeland, Florida, USA
I was riding my bike around Circle B Bar Reserve in Lakeland, Florida when an alligator crawled out just as I was passing by, barely a foot away from my front tire. We spooked each other, so I quickly rolled back 20 feet and patiently waited for it to come back out and bask in the morning sun. Little did I know it was missing a foot and, surprisingly, half of its tail. It must have been in a fight to the death, and my imagination tells me that if an alligator of this size walks away from a fight with these kinds of wounds, it must have won. As a wildlife photographer, I often witness interesting things out in the field.

Now that's one gator I'd get sentimental over. Love to know how those injuries occurred. 🤔

Can crocodiles & alligators grow back their limbs?

Nice walking trail, anyone for a stroll?

Вау! И это животное все еще живо! Вот это природные способности.

У крокодилов и варанов самая совершенная физиология среди позвоночных животных. Они могут не опасаться заражения крови, они могут десятилетиями обходиться тремя конечностями и даже повреждённым хвостом. Они не могут умереть от потери крови, потому что их кровеносная система быстро реагирует на травмы и перекрывает кровоток, пока повреждение не заживёт. Болевой порог у них высокий и такие травмы не вызывают особого дискомфорта.

@@fritzthecat5219 The blood of crocodilians (including alligators, caimans and gharials) contains a quantity of natural antibiotics that any pig would envy.

These animals were around before, during and after the dinosaurs. They are a force of nature! Awesome beasts.

Imagine the size of the other crocodile that bite off his tail in territory fight !😮yikes!!

It was a hippo

[@SALESPRODUCTIONS]

THIS - RIGHT HERE - is WHY they are "living dinosaurs" - as a species - and have survived for millions of years. I mean - let's put it into perspective -- imagine getting in a fight with another person or people - and those people chew your leg off and an arm - and WITHOUT any medical attention - bandaging - help from others - you crawl away and are able to go through the entire healing process - have no pain killers etc . . and you are crawling around in the dirt and in swamps and you DON'T die of infection. Think about it. I have incredible respect for this Alligator and it's simple will to live.
