Dog pack kill alligator in Florida

A friend of mine sent me this report from Florida.

 

 

 

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.

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.
