Returning Wildlife: The American Alligator

by John E. Becker

Alligators have survived since dinosaurs ruled the earth. During the twentieth century, however, they were hunted extensively for their meat and skins and almost disappeared. Once they were protected in the 1970s alligators recovered rapidly. Today, they once again number more than a million across the Southeastern United States.
