Dog Pack Attacks Gator

Recommended Posts

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.

Not for the squeamish!
