Have any details? The fence suggests to me this may have occurred in captivity.

Spoonbills & young gator 'Yesterday evening just prior to sunset, we were watching a small group of Roseate Spoonbills feeding in the marsh pond. At one point they came upon a baby alligator. The little guy could not have been much more then three feet long. Well the spoonbills became fascinated with the gator, especially it’s tail. The spoonbills appeared to be reacting to the alligator almost the way a cat would to a dangled piece of string. Once the spoonies found the little alligator with the curious tail they would not leave it alone, even grabbing the gator’s tail and picking it up a few times. The alligator attempted to go about it’s business which was getting itself fed, but was also clearly annoyed at the unwanted attention. Finally the spoonbills lost interest and the alligator glided off to a less crowded area to continue feeding.'    http://phillanoue.com/2012/07/04/stop-picking-on-me/ |

Old photo! Florida softshell v juvenile heron(from the '94 Herpetological review): "In the early afternoon of 24 July 1987, one of us (MBE) observed a large Florida softshell take a juvenile tricolor heron (Hydranassa tricolor) at Guana River Wildlife Management Area, Saint Johns County, Florida. The bird was in obvious distress when first seen standing in shallow water at the edge of a ditch, and it soon became apparent that a large softshell was holding it by the lower leg and attempting to pull it to deeper water. The water was too shallow to allow the turtle to pull the bird under, and a struggle continued for ca. 20 min (Fig. 1). Finally, a second large softshell joined the fray. The bird finally drowned when its head was submerged by one of the turtles. The total period of observation was ca. 30 min. This is the first unequivocal documentation of predation by A. ferox on birds. We can only speculate on the method used to catch the bird initially, but softshells frequently lie buried in the sand in shallow water, and the bird may have been ambushed when it stepped in front of a buried softshell.

He was also central to an amazing series of sightings over a few days in the south. Initially, he was found with a young impala kill in a tree and a dead hyena at the base of the tree. It is unclear who killed the sub-adult hyena, but when he was done with the small impala, he dragged and hoisted the hyena into a large jackalberry. He continued to feed of the carcass of they hyena for 3 days afterwards. It is the first time that any of us here had seen anything like this before!  http://www.savannalodge.com/news 1x5 Then about five minutes later we saw her leap into the air, bounce once off the ground and jump on top of one of the adult female kudus. The kudu tried to turn around and run, but tripped over a small Kalahari apple leaf bush. The kudu fell to the ground with the female leopard securely attached to her throat. We re-positioned the vehicle and watched the female leopard suffocate the adult female kudu. It was incredible to see a +/- 35 kilogram (77 pound) female leopard take down an adult female kudu of +/- 170 kilograms (370 pounds)!   http://www.wilderness-safaris.com/blog/posts/daring-leopard-kill-at-dumatau Edited by HugeHyena, Jan 4 2016, 06:12 AM.

Hyena attacked. Its ear is viciously bitten to the point of hanging off and its foot is shattered in what is a suspected intra-clan battle. SafariLIVE presenter Scott Dyson also reviews the sighting after the incident. This time the meeting of the two flocks of sheep ended a rather serious clash between dogs guarding the sheep. This is because of the season estrus in females during the fall season. During this period, male dogs are particularly aggressive and sometimes they travel long distances looking for Bitches in heat going by the smell of passion. In these dog weddings dogs could often get traumatized and get serious wounds. As seen on this video shepherds do not like this and they are trying to disperse the dogs usually using kicks or their sticks. Also clearly visible, as the alpha male of the pack after a fight attacking his pack-mate, which is below him on rank. So he shows who the main in the pack. WARNING! THIS VIDEO IS FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY! !!! I'm a visitor in this zoo, please note this fact !!! I personally have a very deep respect for these wonderful creatures, I don't like to see an animal suffer, just like anyone else. But this behavior is a part of the pack to became stronger every day, it's in their nature, we all must accept it. After a few weeks that omega wolf recovered well, checked him myself.
