American Alligator

Yikes! Who are you?

I’m an American alligator. Alligators are large reptiles.

Where do you live? We live in the United States. We like warm water. We swim in rivers, lakes, and swamps

What do you eat? We like frogs, fish, snails, and mammals. Alligators don’t chew food. We just gulp it down!

You have wide jaws. My jaws are very strong. I can even crack a turtle’s hard shell! We grab prey with our sharp teeth.

his swamp is noisy! Alligators hiss loudly. We can roar like lions too.
