Who Lives in an Alligator Hole?

Read and find out about aligators in this colorfully illustrated nonfiction picture book.

Scientists consider alligators a "keystone species"—the most important animal in their habitat. Without the alligator, many animals dependent on the gator would become extinct. Read and find out about how alligators are much more than big jaws and sharp teeth!
