Dogs Kill Gator

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 team work 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.
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 the remainder of the pack prevents
the beast from rolling.
warning: graphic!

Ohh! I'm really gullable so it took me a
sec. To realize I wasn't gonna see a
gator getting his ass handed to him by
some dogs, but the puppy pic was better...
Much better! :p
