    Better to see them safely and not get chomped. So, not cheating. ;) Posted 12 days ago

The American Alligator

The American alligator, sometimes referred to as a gator, or common alligator is a large crocodilian reptile native to the Southeastern United States and a small section of northeastern Mexico. It is one of the two extant species in the genus "Alligator", and is larger than the only other living alligator species, the Chinese alligator.
