*** About Alligators: Alligators are a common sight in Florida's freshwater environments like rivers, lakes, ponds, and swamps. Recognizable by their broad snouts and powerful bodies, these reptiles are crucial to their ecosystems, helping to control fish and small mammal populations. Adult alligators can grow up to 11 to 15 feet in length and weigh as much as 1000 pounds. Often mistaken for crocodiles, alligators can be distinguished by their wider, U-shaped snouts and the fact that only their upper teeth are visible when their mouths are closed. Conservation efforts in recent decades have helped their populations recover from the brink of extinction, marking a successful endeavor in wildlife management.:
