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 biting and 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

That is just... so wrong. The brutality displayed by the dogs in their attack is shocking, to say the least.
Well Dave, you suckered one more member !!! :p
Thanks for nothing man !!! :roll:

I cannot decide who's more off topic - AVC for suggesting that these real life photographs are not as horrific as they truly are. Or KGun - the Master at digging up old unrelated posts.
Now Dave, if you have any pics of KGun fighting a grizzly now that I would love to see. Naturally I feel sorry for the grizzly because KGun would most likely have a laptop and start showing it some old posts.

post.
I have hijacked the internet here: Meta Search Engine and search resources: SurfToolbar.com (http://www.surftoolbar.com/)
Advice on that site:
If you
"open 6 popular search windows"
you should
Use the Opera browser (The possibility to tile and cascade windows with a click of the mouse).
Have a large screen and preferrably
Multiple screens (http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/sep04/articles/carillon.htm?session=fa20238179ab4f4ef0329efff62c6 bc6)

Funny shit man, and right on about our beloved KGun, even if he is quite eccentric and loves to interject "new life" (new direction) into threads !!!! :lol:
