Val (Zebedee) Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 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.

Ron Tao&Sky Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 Truly, an amazing photo. Straight out of Kruger Park - or the like. What stunned me is the look of steadfast determination worn by the blood-crazed dogs. The ''gator almost appears to have accepted his fate - and waits for death to relieve his agony. Perhaps though he is merely steeling himself for a reprisal that would surely see an end to at least one attacker, causing the others to flee - never again to seek the flesh of one so imbued with ancient strength - and wisdom in the fine art of killing. ........Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
