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!
