Dog
Pack Attacks Gator In
Florida
At times
nature can be cruel,
but there is also a raw beauty,
and even a certain justice
manifested within that cruelty.
The alligator, one of the oldest and ultimate
predators, normally considered the 'apex
predator', can still fall victim to implemented 'team
work' strategy, made possible due to the tight knit
social structure and 'survival of the pack mentality'
bred into the canines.
See the remarkable photograph below
courtesy of Nature Magazine.
Note that the Alpha dog has a muzzle hold
on the gator preventing it from breathing, while
another dog has a hold on the tail to keep it from
thrashing. The third dog attacks the soft underbelly
of the gator.
Not for the squeamish!
