*** About American Alligator: American alligators (Alligator mississippiensis) are native to the southeastern USA, found in states like Florida and Louisiana. They inhabit freshwater wetlands such as marshes and rivers. Mature alligators are apex predators crucial to their ecosystems. They help maintain the population balance of prey species and create habitats for other wildlife by constructing "gator holes". American alligators were once on the brink of extinction, but conservation efforts in recent decades have restored their populations to stable levels. The species is a remarkable example of successful wildlife management and conservation.
