Selene Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 Dog Pack Attacks Gator In FloridaAt 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 Laughter is good for the soul. Have a Great Day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Stuart Kelly Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Adam,I saw the problem. You tried to link to an image from your email.Here's how to do images that don't show up.1. Download the image to your hard drive. 2. Upload it from your hard drive to Photobucket (get an account, it's free). 3. Use the Photobucket link in your OL post.Dynamic images do not show up, either. If you don't know what that means, don't worry about it. (It's to keep the hackers at bay.) When in doubt, do the above.Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selene Posted August 10, 2009 Author Share Posted August 10, 2009 I just ran across this last night. It is difficult to understand how these folks can possibly make this connection, but then, I remembered "xyz-ray" is a member of PETA:http://www.adl.org/Anti_semitism/holocaust_imagery_ar.aspAdam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffrey smith Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Adam--I long ago decided that PETA bases itself on the principle that non rational animals should be accorded more rights than rational animals. Perhaps this is because they actually belong in the category of non rational animals ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
