Pack of dogs kill gator in Fl.

Post by catchin1 »

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 it's natural eco-system, can still fall victim to

implemented 'team work' strategy, made possible due to the tight knit
social
structure and "survival of the fittest pack mentality", bred into the
canines
over the last several hundreds of years by natural selection.

See the attached remarkable photograph 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.
