Gators have learned well: don't fuck with the evolved dinosaurs.

Shrikes impale their prey on metal fence posts.
Harpy eagles can crush a human skull like a water balloon.
Crows communicate and coordinate harassment campaigns against people that have slighted them.
Vultures can eat rotting meat and be totally fine.
