How about this one - from an email a friend of mine sent me.
Dog Pack Attacks Alligator in Florida:
At 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 attached courtesy of Nature Magazine. 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.

hard to find anything cuter than a baby polar bear.
When I was about 8 years old we went up to Churchill to visit my Aunt and Uncle who were living there. Polar bears were known to wander into the town looking for food. She told us of a story where she walked into her living room to look out the window and see one staring at her. 
Cute as that little guy is, when they grow up they are freaking huge!

You just wait till he grows up!
Aye. It is unfair that something so dangerous can look so cute when young. Of course, humans do the same thing in reverse.
Note: Have just watched "Tears Of The Sun" so my opinion of humankind is not high right now.

Oops my bad I thought it was a full grown bear being attacked by a 50 foot human
They are incredibly cute when young and as cute as they are young they are equally as dangerous when grown. Me thinkest that would be a very different situation if that were an adult polar bear
They are the largest land carnivores on the planet. Capable of incredible feats. Traveling thousands of miles in a few weeks or taking on a full grown walrus when hungry enough. Absolutely incredible animals. Wonder why there isn't a Martial Art style named after them?
All babies are cute or perhaps we're brought up to think that way.
