It just shows that dogs are not that far removed from wolves......

Vicious Dog Pack kills Gator In Florida

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 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.
