Nature at its Worst


Recommended Posts

This is actually a bit horrid really - it turned my stomach just a bit.

But... it really shows you how amazing nature can be, so it's worth

having a look just for that. Read the text below before opening it, and

then steel yourselves...

DOGS SAVAGE EVERGLADE ALLIGATOR

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.
