Since when do alligators eat watermelons?!
Since people started throwing them at alligators. I'm sure he could have thrown his left shoe at him and it would have been chomped on.
Somehow, feeding watermelon to an alligator would seem to be the kind of thing that would just make it find you more appetizing.
TRULY THIS IS THE NOBLEST OF SPORTS
They actually really like melons. Who knew.
They're basically just big mean iguanas, so this isn't surprising.
They're basically just smaller nicer Godzillas, so this isn't surprising.
They're basically just lazy, cold-blooded deer that spend a significant portion of their lives in water and eat deer, so this is kind of surprising.
They're basically just deer. I saw a deer crush a Hummer once.
This isn't surprising.
A testament to the strength of those jaw muscles - that gator needed no real wind up to squish that melon like a bug.
Alligators can clamp down with something like 2000 lbs per square inch. A watermellon isn't really much of a testament.
True, but 2000 pounds per square inch is something that my non-engineer mind doesn't really fathom. This is an effective demonstration simply for how easy it is to imagine that my head isn't all that much tougher then a melon.
And you call yourself a professor.
You can hold an alligator's mouth closed with one hand though.
2000 lbs/square inch (psi) is equivalent to 4000 feet of water or 130 atmospheres.
More proof god hates us, as if we need it.
throw me the melon throw me the melon throw me the melSQUISH
For all we know, lunging at you with their mouths open is how they act playful. The same with actually eating you.
Gator-ade.
