About This Book

Alligators are ancient creatures that have outlived the dinosaurs, but they faced near extinction due to heavy hunting in the 1900s. Thanks to protective laws in the 1970s, their population bounced back, and now these powerful reptiles thrive in the wetlands of the Southeastern U.S. Discover how conservation efforts helped bring these fascinating animals back from the brink.
