Alligators in the Everglades are nothing to be messed with. And some of these drones are pretty expensive.  So let’s get to it. Here’s the video of ” Alligator Captures And Eats An Airborne Drone In The Everglades ”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gus5FMGtEok&t=36s

The video, originally posted on Tik Tok and then shared on Reddit, shows why you don’t wanna fly your drone too close to alligators. Also, this has got to be animal cruelty. If caught the person flying the drone would likely face charges. I’ll never understand why people post videos that could get them put in jail.

Or at least use your drone to take out pythons. We want them gone.
