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 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! I have the photo. But you can see it at:
