The sinkhole’s unique ecosystem makes for a great habitat for the alligator’s prey

Predators including bald eagles and vultures often gather alongside the alligators as the sinkhole’s unique ecosystem makes for a great habitat for fish.
The reptiles are often only seen individually or in small clusters of three or four.
The large gathering at the US sinkhole is said to be so large Google Earth can even pick them up.
