This is the first geocache in the series. Alligators are large, scaly reptiles that live on the banks of rivers and in the water. There are two species: The American alligator and the Chinese alligator. The American alligator being the larger of the two, the record length being 19.16 feet (5.84 meters). American alligators live in the southeastern United States. Chinese alligators are found only in the Yangtze River basin. Alligators eat fish, small mammals, and birds. Each adult female lays 15 to 80 eggs in a nest mound she has made from mud and rotting vegetation. The heat produced by this decaying process helps to hatch the eggs two to three months later. Meanwhile the female stays close by. Then, she removes the vegetation to help her hatchlings get out. Alligators are similar to crocodiles. The main difference between crocodiles and alligators is in the teeth. When an alligator's mouth is shut, the upper teeth lie outside the lower teeth with its fourth lower tooth hidden in a pit in the upper jaw. With crocodiles, the teeth in the upper and lower jaws are in line and the fourth lower tooth is visible when the jaws are closed. An alligator also has a broader, shorter head and a blunter snout than a crocodile. The info was taken from page 11 of the Kingfisher Encyclopedia of Animals.
