America's Biggest Reptile
Growing to over 16 feet, the American Alligator is by far the largest reptile in the United States. They live in the warm waters of the rivers, lakes and swamps of the South. The hatchlings have a crossbar pattern of yellow and black that darkens to a uniform dark gray or black as they age. Using their large, flattened tails they gracefully swim in a prehistoric manner. They eat a wide variety of animals including fish, amphibians, turtles and mammals...almost anything that moves.
