Dog Pack Attacks Gator

This story and picture is unbelievable. Check it out.



Florida dog pack attacks gator





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!

I would love it if they did. That's why we have a miniature dachshund. I didn't want a big dog. I like small animals. I want someone to invent miniature kittens. lol
