Dog pack attacks Alligator 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!

You know, I kept avoiding this thread because I absolutely love alligators. I'm so glad I was met with such cuteness and not the scene I was expecting.
