*** About American Alligator: The American alligator, scientifically known as Alligator mississippiensis, is a resilient species found primarily in the southeastern USA. This formidable reptile plays a pivotal role in its ecosystem as both a predator and a creator of 'gator holes' that provide habitats for other species during dry spells. Typically, a female alligator will fiercely protect her hatchlings for about a year—a behavior vividly captured in artistic mediums like this one. The species has experienced both all-time lows due to hunting and highs as a result of conservation efforts, leading to a current stable and protected status.
