Sometimes nature is cruel. But there is also beauty in that cruelty. The alligator is one of the most elite predators in nature. However, even it can fall victim to the 'wolf pack' strategy, made possible due to the canine's intelligence and social structure. A pack of ferocious wild dogs in Florida attacked and killed an alligator. See the remarkable attached photograph courtesy of Nature Magazine.
