*** About American Alligators: American alligators are a species native primarily to the southeastern USA, thriving in freshwater environments like ponds, marshes, wetlands, rivers, and lakes. Mature alligators are apex predators within their ecosystems, playing a crucial role in maintaining ecological balance. They can grow up to 15 feet in length and weigh over 1000 pounds. Females, typically smaller than males, fiercely protect their nests and young. The species has experienced a rollercoaster conservation status journey, once teetering on the edge of extinction, but through stringent protections and habitat preservation, it has rebounded considerably.
