Tail-less Living Fossil! Alligator Crosses Highway in Louisiana, Shocking Drivers
In Louisiana, USA, a tail-less alligator was spotted slowly crossing a highway, surprising passing drivers. Ashlyn Bartholomew filmed the incident while picking up her child and shared it on social media, where it quickly went viral, with many mistaking it for a French Bulldog.
Reptile experts noted that alligators often lose tails due to competitive mating disputes, which is not uncommon. Despite the importance of the tail for swimming and maintaining balance, alligators possess remarkable adaptability that allows them to survive serious injuries, a factor that has helped them endure since the age of dinosaurs.
