Video: Crocodile Surprises, Accelerates on Land to Capture Wild Boar

It is very rare to witness crocodiles hunting on land.

At Myakka River State Park in Florida, USA, an American alligator (scientific name: Alligator mississippiensis) discovered a wild piglet wandering near the riverbank.

The alligator attacked suddenly and dragged the victim into the water to feast.

Immediately, the alligator “ran on three legs” up onto the bank, eager not to miss this opportunity, while the piglet, completely unaware, turned to face the riverbank. The alligator attacked suddenly and pulled the victim into the water to eat.

Although underwater, the American alligator can move at speeds of up to 32 km/h, this speed is reduced to about half on land due to their body structure being ill-suited for hunting on solid ground. Therefore, it is very rare to see alligators hunting on land.
