Pack of dogs maul crocodile

[Efx]

Sometimes nature is cruel but there is also a beauty in that cruelty.

The crocodile as one of the ultimate predators can fall victim to the
kind of implemented 'team work' strategy which is possible due to the
pack mentality and social structure of canines.

but not if you're squeamish!

Good choice, they are beautiful, loyal dogs!
Be aware though, they are perhaps the most needy dogs on earth. They need tons of attention and more exercise than you can possibly imagine. A husky would run for 23 hours out of the day if you let it.
Also, most purebred huskies will run away if they get off their leash. They may come home eventually, but they risk getting lost, getting hit by a car, etc.

I have a husky and I love her to death, but she is a lot of work, almost as much as a damn child is.

She gets jealous of other people and animals, she is very protective (which is good and bad), she is not good with strangers, children or other animals (she likes to kill other animals, all animals, any shape and size). I built a huge kennel outside for her. She dug under it and escaped. I put cement blocks down so she couldn't dig under, so she climbed the 6 foot fence and jumped over.

Huskies are amazing dogs, but keep in mind, they are 10 times as much work as most other dogs.

And I thought I was the only one with a Husky who always tried to run away. Makes me feel better that yours runs as well, I thought it was bad up-bringing or something. Mine use to always try to escape from the yard too, either by digging under the fence or waiting for the gate to be not tottaly shut and using his paw/snout to pry it open.

And they are indeed a lot of work, always had to walk him every day for 30+ mins minimum and don't forget about the shedding, dog hairs can be all over the house and your clothes = constant vacuuming and brushing the dog.

I once saw a video clip of a tiger attacking and eventually killing a gator on the net once. Can't seem to recall where I got the video, but it was scary. Ever heard a tiger "rrrrrrrrrraaaaaaoooooh!!!!!!" when its pissed?!

I think the tiger attacked the gator cuz it tried to steal the tiger's meal.

Hint: never try to steal the meat a tiger worked so hard for to catch........
