The Alligator<br />
Watch out! Here comes the king (or queen) of<br />
the Everglades—the alligator. This reptile is at the<br />
top of the Everglades food chain. That means that<br />
it has few enemies.<br />
You should be very careful around this animal.<br />
It may look slow, but it’s not. It can move suddenly<br />
and quickly for food. And the alligator is not a picky<br />
eater. It will eat raccoons with all their fur, birds with<br />
all their feathers, and even turtles in their shells.<br />
The alligator and the crocodile are cousins. And<br />
the only place in the world where you can see them<br />
both is right here. Crocodiles are harder to spot than<br />
alligators. That is because they are endangered. There<br />
are as few as 400 left here so seeing one is very rare.<br />
Alligators look like logs in the water.<br />
That makes them dangerous.<br />
