Dog Pack Attacks Crocodile In Cairns

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'.
