Urbanization and climate change contributes to the growing number of alligators in Florida cities.

Alligators are smaller, darker-colored, and less aggressive than alligators.

As they develop and mature, an American alligator's teeth and jaws change significantly.

The American alligator, which keeps on growing throughout its life, can grow up to 11.2 feet long and weigh nearly half a ton.

Native to the southeastern United States, the alligator is one of the world's largest reptiles.
