I’ve documented this scenario before, but still find it interesting to watch unfold.

Alligator 1 is minding his own business having a snooze.

Alligator 2 would like a turn in the sun and just kept pushing.

There was no altercation, just a final nudge, and Alligator 1 went over the side.

Brother love? Great shots Ellen, but I still see them as creepy animals.
🙂 Fighting brothers, maybe. Thanks, Greta.
Oh that is so funny. The ultimate in being pushy!
Yes, amazing how they will give way to the pushy one, rarely do we see any confrontations.
Rare? Oh that’s interesting. Lots of noise and posturing then but few battles!
Right, Liz! Mating season might make the males more aggressive.
Glad no one was hurt. Was the second alligator the larger of the two? Nice series Ellen.
Yes, it’s surprising that they just move and rarely confront the one doing the pushing. The second one was a little bigger. Thanks, Belinda!
I really like this series, nice work
Thanks, Ted!
This is so comical, I love it! Great series, Ellen!
Thanks, Donna! They are entertaining, at a distance.
