Dog Pack Kills 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 in its natural eco-system, can still fall
victim to implemented teamwork strategy, made possible by the tight knit
social structure and survival of the fittest pack mentality bred into
canines over thousands of years by natural selection.
See the remarkable photograph attached, courtesy of Nature Magazine.
Note that the Alpha dog has a muzzle hold on the gator preventing it from
breathing, while the remainder of the pack prevents the beast from rolling.
Beware! This is not for the squeamish!
