Not For The Squeamish!!!
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 predators,
normally considered the 'apex predator',
can still fall victim to implemented Team
Work Strategy, especially when 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.
