Dog Pack Attacks Gator In Florida

1934

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 tightly-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.

 

Not for the squeamish
