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 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!






















Sorry, it was pretty cute though.

Reminds me of a story!

We grew up in a swampy region of Florida, We were playing one day and pawpaw comes up and checks on us, the starts screaming, GET BACK GET BACK, drops on his belly and aims his gun out towards the woody area, "there's a damn gator out there" "big damn gator" "that summabitch just tried to bite me" BOOOOOM

We had to pick the rubber up for days, He killed my poor innocent toy I had laying by the lake
