Please read this entirely before clicking on the picture. It is essential to view the photo too, so as to get the full meaning of what is happening: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'.

wow that was quite the story . You have such a great way of writing that i was itching to see the pisture you were desrcibing . I was riveted to the story by your words and emotion you evoked from me as I was reading... you really should think about writing for a living you know ...there are many greta sites for you ...or even a blog would be wonderful fro you to use ..that way you could also earn money from it daily ... as for the pups they actau;;y do work like that watch little puppies when they are smaller and see what they do with each other as they play ..its cute but at the same time they are in training for bigger and better things in life..
