At times nature can be cruel, but there is also a raw beauty, and even a certain justice manifested within that cruelty.
The alligator, an ultimate predator and normally considered the "apex predator" in its ecosystem, can still fall victim to team-work strategy. The tight-knit social structure of the dog pack has been refined by thousands of years of natural selection.

Note that the alpha dog has a muzzle hold on the alligator, which impairs its breathing, while the remainder of the pack prevents the beast from rolling.
