Dogs Maul An Alligator

I saw this email and was prepared for the worst. I need to prepare you, too.

You know that alligators, like their cousins the crocodiles, are apex predators--perhaps the apex predator because they can kill both on land and in the water, unlike sharks that are limited to prey in the water, and most big cats that are limited to land prey. However, gaters can still fall victim to a team effort by a pack of dogs. Dogs that, through hundreds (thousands?) of years of breeding and instinct, have a tight-knit social mentality that enhances their hunting abilities.

In the picture below, note that the Alpha male has a muzzle hold on the gater, preventing it from breathing, while the other dogs prevent the reptile from rolling.

I will warn you, this may not be suitable or younger viewers. Of course, I'm not supposed to have younger viewers on this blog, seeing as much of what I have here is of an adult nature...
