Two alligators lying on banks of waterway
Everglades National Park; National Park Service
Distant view of two gators lying on banks of waterway, tree islands in background; "Gator Country-Everglades; shoot s/s flop picture"; long, typed paragraph on alligators attached to photo: Caption Reads: CROC FILE #8. Separate attached copy reads: ' ENP is a water-based acoysystem that supports a great variety of wildlife. Alligators are among this sanctuary's most famous native citizens. Well adapted for an aquatic habitat, they prefer fresh and brackish water. They are most active at night, feeding primarily on garfish and occasionally on other fish, turtles and birds. Days find them lazing on the banks of water holes such as Taylor Slough, pictured here, or in the shallows. With the exception of a small population, with a limited range in China, alligators occur only in the southeastern US. Once relatively abundant throughout their range, these relics of the Age of Dinosaurs, with an ancestry dating back about one hundred million years, are classified as an endangered species. Encroachment of civilization into its native habitat and poaching to provide hides for alligator goods are taking an alarming toll-as many as 50,000 a year from Florida alone. Places such as ENP afford protection and sufficient natural habitat, but ultimately, legislation outlawing the manufacture, sale and possession of alligator products will be the only effective measure that will insure their survival as a species."
