Dog Pack Kills Alligator 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 in its natural eco-system, can still fall

victim to implemented teamwork strategy, made possible by the tight knit

social structure and survival of the fittest pack mentality bred into

canines over the last thousands 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.
