Alligator killed by dogs


Alligator killed by dogs
This is pretty gruesome, but I think you should see it

An awesome display of cunning pack mentality…

At times nature can be cruel, but there is also a raw beauty, and even a certain justice manifested within that cruelty.

The alligator, an ultimate predator and normally considered the "apex predator" in its ecosystem, can still fall victim to teamwork strategy.
The tight-knit social structure of the dog pack has been refined by thousands of years of natural selection.
The attached remarkable photograph below is courtesy of Nature Magazine.

Note that the alpha dog has a muzzle hold on the alligator, which impairs its breathing, while the remainder of the pack prevents the beast from rolling.
