Florida wildlife photographer Shellie Gilliam said the heron spent a half hour consuming the juvenile reptile after capturing it a few hundred yards away near Lake Apopka.

Great Blue Heron Caught On Camera Swallowing Baby Alligator In Florida | NBC News NOW
Incrível 🇧🇷🇧🇷
"Bet you'll never look at birds the same way again" ~ Dr Grant
Gotta eat him before he gets big and bad
this bird can swallow a human baby
Florida is built different. There is no such thing as a food chain.
It looks like the bird held it head first in its beak to smother it, put it down to see if it was dead, then proceeded to swallow it. A snappy gator wouldn’t be a good thing to have in its gullet.
Good catch – the bird and photographer.
thank GOD 😁
That bird said, SCREW FISH!! its Lizard tonight, its Lizard tonight, its Lizard tonight!
Heron's momma never taught it to chew.
Facebook bought me here
Heron is like I better eat this bad boy before he eats me
I know this isn't the best video to put it on, but aren't Great Blue Herons such stunning birds?
Птица кушает 🦆😚
No bird looks cooler flying than the blue heron.
Just wait until it swallows one of us humans 😂
Heron: Aww! How cute! Slurrppp!
Gator: Tee hee! I'm gonna eat this sucka inside-out.
Florida man would be proud
Don't tell us the bird has Cov 19 right sigh…..
That feather dinosaur just ate that scale dinosaur. Rowdy.
I overcame a fear of birds when I was a child…. So much for that.
Can't the alligator eat his guts?
Strong digestive acid!
Not impressed. Try that with an adult….
Yep Dinosaurs were real without a doubt lol
That's how nature works 😁
Never give up
Gross
Why are you not doing anything
Nature you scary!😬😳😬
Alligator might look macho and all but 💙💙💙 blue heron knows the art of winning . Just sayin 😂🤭
Photographer: 📸🐊🦩
Me: Is that a baby blue heron gator shoe on your feet or are you just happy to see me?
That gator later ate his way out of the bird.
And Then a Florida snake hunter comes along and kills the Python cause its Florida 😂😂😂
They swallow all their prey head first so they cant crawl back out !!
