This Washington Post article by Amy Wang attempts to illustrate that, contrary to popular belief, American alligators actually feed on animals such as sharks and stingrays. It was previously believed that American alligators constrain themselves to freshwater prey such as fish. However, James Nifong led a study that proved that these alligators venture out to prey on other marine animals. Through his study, James Nifong demonstrated the importance of questioning ideas in order to discover new ones.
After he became skeptic, James Nifong conducted a study that lasted for a decade and eventually revealed an important discovery. Throughout his process, Nifong and his team employed strategies that are common to ones used in the field of psychology.
