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.

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.
