Most harrowing image I've ever seen.

Pack of Dogs Attacking a Crocodile in the Kruger Park . 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'.
