Over the next 150 years, alligators were hunted to near extinction and became an endangered species. Today, they have been taken off the endangered species list, thanks largely to increased knowledge about them, increased skill in wildlife management and the development of alligator farms.

With the opening of Animal Kingdom, Walt Disney World brought animal viewing to new heights, but Walt Disney World is a very large place and is still filled with wild animals and birds roaming and flying free. I ts a great place for creature watching! What animals have you seen? Rabbits can be seen thoughout Walt Disney World. My wife and I have seen them inside the Magic Kingdom near the Jungle Cruise and back behind Big Thunder Mountain; all around Epcot; and in the Studios Backlot. In the parks, the best viewing times are at dusk or at night when the crowds are smaller but sometimes you can even see them in the day. We have also seen them at Dixie Landings, Fort Wilderness, Wilderness Lodge and on the nature trails around Disney World.

    Extractions: WILDLIFE by Lisa Ladd-Wilson It's hard to say exactly when the Department of Fish and Game knew it had an unusual case on its hands. Was it in mid-November, when an anonymous caller contacted CalTIP Californians Turn In Poachers and reported two alligators living in Ferndale? Or was it when Fish and Game wardens discovered the alligators were owned by a 77-year-old grandmother of 30? Patrol Lt. Jerry Collins wasn't one of those wardens, but he soon became involved with Verdie Stone and her alligators. And what started as a pre-Thanksgiving confiscation turned into a holiday season shopping trip, with two toothy gifts looking for a home. Collins has seized his share of illegally kept animals in his 23 years with Fish and Game, and there were a few things that flagged this case as different. For one thing, the alligators, nearing 3 feet in length, weren't abused or ill, as are many of the exotic-animals-as-conversation-pieces that Collins sees. "They seem to be healthy," Collins said over the phone. For another, the perpetrator was a very nice great-grandmother who calls just about everyone "dear" or "darling" and loves to tell stories especially stories about growing up in Tulsa, Okla., where she spent her girlhood collecting snakes, small mammals and lizards that folks in those parts call "mountain boomers."

88. Wild Texas: American Alligator (Alligator Mississippiensis)
    Two of the best locations for viewing alligators in the refuge are Thomas Slough,across from the wildlife Information Center (WIC), and Jones Lake.  
    http://www.wildtexas.com/wildguides/alligator.php
    
    Extractions: Justin Moore Attaining a length of six to eight feet at adulthood, the American alligator is North America's largest flesh-eating reptile. The alligator's thick and powerful tail, used for propulsion and defense, accounts for half its body length. Similar in appearance to the endangered American crocodile, the American alligator has a stockier build and broader head and snout; unlike crocodiles, alligators' teeth are not visible when their jaws are closed. Alligators inhabit the states of Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, and the Carolinas. Their preferred habitat includes shallow lakes, ponds, swamps, marshes, and rivers. Widespread hunting threatened the species with extinction in the 1960s, causing the American alligator to receive federal protection under the Endangered Species Act in 1973. Today, the species has made a remarkable recovery, such that controlled hunting is permitted in some areas. The American alligator still receives federal protection as a threatened species. Alligators have an average lifespan of fifty years.

    http://www.wildlifemiss.org/news/columns/1999/05-31.html
    
    Extractions: by James L. Cummins The American Alligator, (Alligator mississippiensis), is the largest reptile found in Mississippi. The alligator belongs to the crocodile family and is one of the last surviving members of the dinosaur era. Alligators are found throughout Mississippi's many rivers, creeks, swamps and lakes, but are most common in central and south Mississippi. The alligator can be identified by its large rough back and long, broad snout. Adult alligators are generally black in color and range from 6 to 12 feet in length. The only noticeable difference between adult males and females is size. Adult females will only grow to six or seven feet. Immature alligators may be distinguished by their size and yellowish markings. The alligator is a reptile, therefore it is a cold-blooded animal. The body temperature of the alligator is directly influenced by the outside temperature which surrounds it. During the winter, alligators will seek dens where they will become inactive for a time. The dens are dug under banks and they usually have underwater entrances. The alligator thrives in warm weather situations. During warm weather alligators can often be seen basking in the sun. But alligators cannot tolerate long, direct exposure to the sun during extremely high temperatures. When temperatures become extreme alligators will seek shaded areas or will remain submerged for extended periods. During these periods of hot weather, alligators are mostly active at night when feeding and during the early morning and late afternoon periods.

    Extractions: A Trip to the St. Mark's National Wildlife Refuge The cry of an osprey is the only sound as my nine-year-old daughter and I walk quietly along a path through the golden grasses of the St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge. We have come looking for alligators on this bright March day, and have found instead a wonderland of birds. The quiet, shallow waters of the refuge's broad expanse of salt marsh are alive with ducks and shorebirds. We see canvasback and goldeneye ducks, What you can do: If you live on a waterfront, use a swale and berm system to keep water that might contain lawn and garden pesticides and fertilizers from running off into the water. Build the smallest dock you can, and locate it to minimize its impact on the marsh. Use a central sewer system if it's available. If not, check your septic system frequently to make sure it's working properly. Call your local health department for a list of companies that can maintain your septic system.

    Extractions: Facts: Alligators can grow over 14 feet and can weigh up to 1000 pounds! Their lifespan is up to 50+ years. Alligators and crocodiles can easily be confused. However, they each have their own unique characteristics. Alligators also have a wider snout compared to the more narrow snout of the crocodile. Alligators have pits in the upper jaw, so you cannot see their teeth as well as a crocodile's when their mouths are closed. Alligators are the top predator in the marshlands where they live. They feed on almost anything, including mammals, birds, fish, insects, crustaceans, and even turtles.

Their movement makes them more visible, generating many false "nuisance" complaints. Mating season for alligators I'm Kevin Pierce with the Florida Environment. If you've been seeing more alligators recently, that's because it's mating season and some of Florida's biggest gators are up and moving (Steve Stiegler, Assistant Leader, Alligator Management Program, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission)....

    Extractions: Wildlife Notes Monthly Notes Animals Guide Management activities within the refuge serve to preserve the natural qualities of the swamp, to provide habitats for a variety of wildlife, and to offer recreational opportunities for visitors. The swamp's unique environmental qualities are preserved through protection, research and progressive management. Endangered species which are benefited by these management efforts include the red-cockaded woodpecker, American alligator, wood stork, and American bald eagle. Hunting, waterfowl banding, wildlife censuses, vegetative transects and water level recorders are used to monitor and manage wildlife populations and habitat conditions. A wildlife habitat is improved through the use of wildlife clearings, forest thinning and planting, and prescribed burning. January

     Extractions: Special Edition Special Edition Sections History Physiography Wetland Habitat Plants ... Recreation WILDLIFE Bobcat Dennis Holt Equally as impressive as the Delta’s plant composition is its abundance and diversity of animal life. During the Ice Age, around 10,000 years ago, the Delta’s extensive drainage area escaped the colder, harsher conditions of higher latitudes. In essence, it became a vast refuge for species unable to exist further north. Historically, over a hundred species found nowhere else in the world, including turtles, snails, crustaceans, and acquatic insects, lived within the drainage basin. The Delta, as the common point of passage for rivers flowing across the basin, was home range for many of these species. By the beginning of the nineteenth century the vast wilderness along the Mobile, Tensaw, and lower Tombigbee and Alabama rivers was the last stand for our three big mammals: whitetail deer, black bear, and panther. North America’s largest woodpecker, the ivorybill, also nested here. As the great southern forests were cleared for lumber and agriculture, the Delta became a refuge and a last hope for survival for these and other species.
