Alligator killed by dogs.

This is from my favorite Wiccan at the Silent Armory.


This is pretty gruesome, but I think you should
see it!

An Awesome Display of Cunning Pack Mentality...

At times nature can be cruel, but there is also
a raw beauty, and
even a certain justice manifested within that
cruelty.

The alligator, an ultimate predator and normally
considered the 'apex predator' in its ecosystem,
can still
fall victim to team-work strategy. The
tight-knit social structure of
the dog pack
has been refined by thousands of years of
natural selection.

The following remarkable photograph is courtesy
of Nature Magazine.

Note that the alpha dog has a muzzle hold on the
alligator, which
impairs its
breathing, while the remainder of the pack
prevents the beast from
rolling.
