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
eco-system, 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 hundreds 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 the remainder of the
pack prevents the beast from rolling.
Not for the squeamish! Be sure you can handle the raw
blood and guts nature of this photo before scrolling down!!!
We strongly recommend that you preview this privately
before determining if a younger audience views the below
contents.
Gotcha!!
