READ COMPLETE MNESSAGE BEFORE SCROLLING DOWN FOR FULL IMPCAT OF THIS AMAZING PICTURE
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 it’s natural ecosystem, can still fall victim to implemented ‘team work’ strategy, made possible due to the tight knit social structure and “survival of the fittest pack mentality” bred into the canines over the last several hundred thousands of years by natural selection .
See the attached 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!!!
