Found mostly in the southeastern USA, these reptiles inhabit freshwater environments like ponds, marshes, wetlands, rivers, lakes, and occasionally in brackish waters. As apex predators, they play a crucial role in their ecosystems by maintaining the balance of animal populations. The alligator’s diet mainly consists of fish, birds, and small mammals, but they are known for their powerful bite. Conservation efforts over the years have brought their populations back from the brink of extinction, marking a successful endeavor to preserve a key species in North American wildlife.
