Alligator with a burmese python in the Everglades -- its's an interesting relationship these species have, the burms eating young alligators(necropsy results from multiple pythons have shown that burms will take young animals with some degree of frequency) and the adult agators taking the adult burms.

So a video of a couple dogs chasing an ostrich is considered graphic (even tho it ended before any blood was drawn), but all those videos and images are fine? Couldn't help but wonder why..

Well, might as well contribute; African wild dogs hunting impala:

Male african wild dog takes down a Reedbuck ram

"Over the last few weeks, three wild dog have been sighted from time to time around Nanzhila Plains Safari Camp in the Southern Kafue. While there is abundant prey in the area, pressure from larger predators like lion and leopard can push wild dogs out, so we didn’t know how long they would stick around.

Last week on a game drive though, Steve Smith came across a dramatic sighting – a lone male wild dog going up against a lone reedbuck ram. It was one-on-one on the plains. Despite being heavily outweighed, the wild dog was clearly too efficient for the reedbuck ram who, despite his impressive horns, was exhausted from the running and eventually, succumbed.

Clearly this kill was about sustaining the life of future generations of the Kafue wild dog (hence why the male was out hunting on his own) and so although sad, a good reminder of the balance that exists when wildlife is allowed the space and protection to go about their normal lives.
