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.
