Dog Pack Kills Alligator 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 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.

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.

Beware! This is not for the squeamish!
