"Dog Pack Attacks Croc in Northern Territory"

At times nature can be cruel, but there is also a raw beauty, and even a certain justice manifested within that cruelty.

The crocodile, 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 croc 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 croc.

Not for the squeamish�

I fell for this email that came in this morning... *laughs*
