Team Work will triumph every time
May use this in youth work training as a good example of what working together can achieve against the odds.
'A pack of dogs attack a crocodile. Sometimes nature is cruel but there is also a beauty in that cruelty. The crocodile as one of the ultimate predators can even fall victim to the kind of implemented 'team work' strategy which is possible due to the pack mentality and social structure of canines. The mauling was still taking place as the attached close-up picture was being taken'
I've put the photo from 'Nature Magazine' in the extended entry. Click on continue reading if you are interested - but not if you're squeamish!

More stunning than a pack of puppies attacking a stuffed croc, was "planet earth" where a bunch of otters show no fear in going up against a 4m long live one! Anyone video that by any chance??

Otters attack crocodile - yes it was an excellent example of teamwork - it is due to be shown again on Saturday evening on BBC2
