Dogs Save Little Kid from Gator Attack

[Jeff Higgins]

Dogs are amazing. If you are not a dog lover, you may not appreciate this. Their fierce loyalty in the face of incredible danger is just something else.

Dog Pack Attacks Gator in Louisiana.

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 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 (scroll down, but get the kids out of the room first):
