***About American Alligators

***: American alligators are a keystone species found primarily in the southeastern USA, thriving mainly in freshwater swamps, marshes, and rivers. Adults can reach up to 15 feet in length and play a crucial role in their ecosystems by controlling prey populations like fish and small mammals. Historically hunted to near extinction for their hides, conservation efforts have seen their numbers rebound in many areas. Today, they symbolize the challenges and successes of wildlife conservation, adapting to coexist in the margins of human expansion while maintaining their role in the ecological balance.
