Alligator Most people outside of Florida can't believe we have wild alligators running around. These guys live in every part of the state, as long as they can get some kind of swamp, and get into all kinds of messes. Generally afraid of humans, you have to look for them, as they are masters at hiding. A relic of the past, they don't need to evolve. They are almost perfectly suited to do what they do.
