Cannibalism in the Animal Kingdom

Great white shark to soup fin shark: "Check yo self, fool!" (Previously mentioned here)

Even though the Great White didn't eat the other shark, this story reminds me of a time I was at the Okefenokee Swamp Park in Waycross, GA. My friends and I watched as a park employee released an injured alligator back into the wild. He told us the animal was hit by a car and the park staff had nursed it back to health over a period of several months. It was around 4 feet long. As soon as the guy let it loose, another, much larger gator swam over and promptly ate it. I'd say it's one of the top 5 coolest things I've ever personally witnessed.
