The pictures show two crocodiles fighting. But the younger one was ultimately defeated.

At that moment, the big reptile came out of the water, broke open the small crocodile and swallowed it.

Tommy said the largest crocodile was 3 meters long. She pointed out that he did not mind feeding from an animal of the same species. “It was like he was showing me the other guy’s corpse. I made another video of him pulling it out of the water. In the video, he was laughing at me. I knew they wouldn’t laugh, but that’s what it looked like, holding a defeated crocodile in your mouth and looking at me with a tone of pride.

Florida Fish and Wildlife reported that alligators are opportunistic feeders and prey on smaller prey because they are easier to dominate. Sometimes one will eat another of the same species.
