Florida Swamps

An American alligator (Alligator mississippiensis), colloquially referred to as a ''gator,'' swims towards a disturbance in the swamp looking for its next meal. The American alligator is an apex predator in swampy areas of the USA and can swim up to 32 kilometers per hour. Adult male American alligators measure 3.4 to 4.5 meters in length and can weigh up to 500 kilograms, with unverified sizes of up to 5.84 meters and weights of 1,000 kilograms.
