It's an evolutionary compromise between being bipedal and having larger brains. Other animals have a straight shot out the birth canal where as human newborns must make twists and turns to get that large brain out of that bipedal pelvis.

Why does bipedal motion make childbirth difficult?

Bipedal motion in humans leads to a narrower pelvis compared to quadrupedal animals, which complicates childbirth. The upright posture requires a more complex arrangement of the pelvic bones, making the birth canal constricted. Additionally, the larger brain size of human infants necessitates a larger head, further challenging the birthing process. This combination results in greater difficulty and often more prolonged labor during childbirth.

Alligators can be dangerous, particularly if they feel threatened or are protecting their territory, but they are not the most dangerous animals overall.

Alligators typically avoid human interaction and attacks are relatively rare. Proper caution and respect for their habitat can minimize risks associated with alligators.
