Dog Pack Attacks Gator In Florida

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 canines.

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...
