American Alligators live in south-eastern areas of 

the United States such as Florida and Louisiana. 

These creatures have a powerful bite, but they 

have a weak jaw. An adult human could hold 

the jaw of alligator with their bare hands.

Alligators are carnivores and eat a variety of 

different animals, such as fish, birds, turtles, 

and even deer.

There are two different species of alligators. The 

American Alligator and the Chinese Alligator.

American Alligators are hatched from eggs.  

They lay about 20-50 eggs. 

Those eggs which are hatched during 

temperatures ranging from 90 to 93 degrees 

fahrenheit turn out to be male, while those in 

temperatures from 82 to 86 degrees fahrenheit 

end up being female.

American Alligators can grow up to 11 feet long.

Alligators are found in warm water habitats.  

They are usually found in freshwater, slow 

moving rivers, swamps, marshes, and lakes.

Baby alligators feed on insects, snails, and 

small fish.

People tend to get jumpy when around 

Alligators because Alligators can be dangerous 

creatures.

American Alligators are considered to be 

keystone species.

Alligators have been living on earth for millions 

of years.

For Alligators, mating occurs in early May, with 

egg laying occurring in late June and early July.

Alligators mostly sleep in the sun during the 

day and feed at night, when they can only be 

detected by the red glow of their eyes.

American Alligators are a part of the order 

'Crocodylia', but that does not mean that 

Alligators and Crocodiles are the same.   These 

two creatures are completely different species.

American Alligator mothers are very protective 

over their babies.

American Alligators are questionably similar 

looking to crocodiles.

American Alligators are reptiles.
