	Crocodilian Species - American Alligator (Alligator mississippiensis) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Alligators have been known in rare instances to attack children and even occasionally adults, usually because they mistake the human for much smaller prey, or they are provoked.
		Alligators have been shown to be an important part of their ecosystem, and are thus regarded by many as a 'keystone' species.
		Alligators in some areas are also showing greatly increased levels of mercury, an indicator of the state of the ecosystem.

	Alligator Resource Page - aligator
		An alligator is a crocodilian in the genus Alligator of the family Alligatoridae.
		Alligators may kill larger prey by grabbing it and dragging it in the water to drown.
		Alligators consume food that cannot be eaten in one bite; the remains are either allowed to rot or are rendered by biting and then spinning or convulsing wildly until bite size pieces are torn off.

	American Alligator - Alligator mississipiensis
		In alligators, the upper teeth lie outside the lower when the mouth is shut, whereas with crocodiles the upper and lower teeth are in line.
		With the American alligator this tooth fits in to a pit in the upper jaw and cannot be seen when the mouth is closed.
		The Western population of American alligators differs from the Eastern in that their young have white speckles on the jaws and the crossbands are paler.

		Alligators reach a maximum age of 75 years, which means that they can get about twice as old as "modern" Crocodiles.

		The alligator population, in parts of the state, has reached levels that are beyond the capacity of control by officers and biologists of the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks (MDWFP).
		Alligator "tail gating" became popular as family groups, neighbors, and friends took the opportunity to BBQ and socialize in lounge chairs as they waited into the early morning hours, anticipating each boat's approach to the dock.
		However, as a consolation for the alligators, one shotgun was lost to the "Depths of the Mighty Pearl" when an alligator thrashed near the boat and knocked it out of the hands of the hunter.

	All About Alligators- Enchanted Learning Software
		The tail is half the animal's length; it helps propel the alligator through the water, is used to make pools of water during the dry seasons (gator holes), is used as a weapon, and stores fat that the alligator will use for nourishment during the winter.
		Alligators are reptiles and are closely related to dinosaurs and birds; they are all diapsids, and all have two opening on each side of the skull.
		Alligators are also Archosaurs (which have a single skull opening in front of the eyes), like the birds, dinosaurs, pterosaurs, and crocodiles.

	Louisiana State Reptile - Alligator
		Alligators construct burrows, or "alligator holes" for shelter and hibernation.
		Alligators are an important part of their ecosystem - they control the population of prey species, create peat through their nesting activities, and benefit several other species with 'alligator holes' and nests (including the Florida Red-bellied turtle which incubates its own eggs there).
		After surviving nearly unchanged since the time of the dinosaurs, and having virtually no natural predators as adults today, alligators were headed for extinction only 20 years ago due to intense hunting from man. Protecting the species and alligator habitats has allowed the status to be changed from endangered to threatened.
