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", can still fall victim to implemented 'team work' strategy, made possible due to the tight knit social structure and "survival of the pack mentality" bred into the canines. See the remarkable photograph below 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!

Well, it did say it wasn't for the squeamish. Guess it was a little too intense for TF.

I wasn't expecting that...but at 3:15 am, I don't know what I was expecting...o.o...
oh, and, yeah. Alpha dogs, even in domestic canines, tend to be the darkest in color, so the alpha would more be the one at the tail....just a little tidbit I'd thought I'd point out because my brain said to do so....
