*** About American Alligators: American alligators (Alligator mississippiensis) are native to the southeastern USA, thriving in wetlands, rivers, swamps, and lakes. Mature alligators are apex predators critical to maintaining ecological balance. They can grow up to 11 to 15 feet in length and weigh as much as half a ton, though females are generally smaller. Alligators are known for their powerful bite but will generally avoid humans unless threatened. They play a crucial role in their habitat by controlling the population of prey species and creating 'gator holes' that provide water during dry spells for many other wildlife species.
