*** About American Alligators: Native to the southeastern USA, American alligators are a crucial part of wetland ecosystems. They create "gator holes" that provide water during dry spells for various wildlife, demonstrating their role as ecosystem engineers. These reptiles mostly feed on fish, turtles, various mammals, and birds. Historically hunted to the brink of extinction, they have remarkably recovered due to strict conservation measures but still face threats from habitat loss and degradation. Their survival is pivotal not merely for biodiversity but also for the health of their environment.
