Alligator mississippiensis The American Alligator is a large species of crocodilian endemic to the southeastern United States, and is one of two species in the genus Alligator. Their body sizes and builds vary in different individuals based on the amount of food each one gets, although the average size is about 10 Ft (3 M) long. They considered are a keystone species in their environment because they create small, shallow ponds called alligator holes. Animals can seek refuge there during the dry season, and they help provide a natural water supply for the local plants and animals. Their diet consists of fish, birds, lizards, snakes, turtles, frogs, and mammals. They also help control invasive species, by eating overpopulating species such as the Nutria and the Burmese Pythons.
