These creatures are integral to the state’s ecosystem, playing a dual role as both predator and keystone species, helping maintain the ecological balance. An alligator’s diet typically includes fish, birds, and small mammals, but due to their opportunistic nature, they are not beyond broadening their menu. Despite their fierce appearance, alligators are generally shy around humans and attacks are rare. Conservation efforts have successfully brought back their population from the brink of extinction, showcasing a successful endeavor to preserve a once vanishing species.
