Dogs Attack Alligator

Ripped from the headlines:

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.

Beware!!
