The brutal and unforgiving side of nature was on full display this week when a video of an alligator attacking and eating another alligator went viral on the Internet.
The video starts out with a large alligator floating in what appears to be a marshland.
The scene quickly turns violent, however, when the large alligator lunges and clamps its jaws around a smaller alligator.
The large alligator then slams the smaller one against the rocks, subduing it permanently.

The video quickly went viral, amassing over five million views over just four days on Instagram.
Although brutal and surprising, this behaviour is fairly common among alligators.
Alligators are opportunistic feeders, meaning that they will attack and consume anything that they can overpower.
