American Alligator
Native to the swamps, rivers, and wetlands of the southeastern United States, the American Alligator is a true survivor – once on the brink of extinction, now a conservation success story!
With powerful jaws, a muscular tail, and a body built for stealth, these ancient reptiles can grow over 4 metres long. Despite their fearsome appearance, American alligators play a vital role in their ecosystem, helping to shape wetlands and maintain biodiversity.
At Crocodiles of the World, our American alligators are a favourite with visitors – a living link to the age of dinosaurs, and a reminder of the importance of protecting wild spaces.
