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...
Laughter is good for the soul! Have a GREAT day!!
(I swiped this from an email sent by my sweet momma, yes, I admit it! But isn't it the cutest damn thing?? It totally had me ROLLING this morning, so I just had to share it with you!! My mom works with a lot of animal groups and does a lot of good for our furry friends. I suspect this came from one of her animal friends. One of the groups she works with is PawsInTheCity.org in Dallas, TX. They do some awesome work - check them out!!)
