@Defne Arslan I tossed a half grapefruit out to an alligator. He immediately chomped on it and spit it out. Every 30 seconds for several minutes, he chomped on it and spit it out again. No short-term memory. Probably forgets those are his offspring.
Probably for the first time a picture within 500 miles from where I live. I would love to see more pictures around me. Nat Geo, please!
