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' in it's natural ecosystem, can still fall
victim to implemented 'team work' strategy, made possible due to the tight knit social structure and 'survival of the fittest pack mentality' bred
into the canines over the last several hundred thousands of years by natural selection.
See the remarkable photograph (attached) 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. (See attached file: gatordog_attack.jpg)
