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 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 .....

Always remember to be yourself. Unless you suck. Then pretend to be someone else.

Well, ya got me too. I'm a bit squeamish when it comes to blood and guts and I was kinda bracing myself before I scrolled down past the blank space you so conveniently provided. Nice one, and good write up!!

Yup, that's a yarn alright. 
Makes me think of my little corgi, she runs around the yard carrying her favorite ball growling and carrying on. Then she gives the ball a toss, barks at it and runs after it.
