ALLIGATOR

Monday 17th  November


                       ALLIGATOR

Alligators are mammals.
An alligator is a type of crocodile. The two living species are the American alligator and the Chinese alligator. In addition, several extinct species of alligators are known from fossil remains. Alligators first appeared during the Oligocene period about 37 million years ago.
The name "alligator" is probably an anglicized form of el lagarto, the Spanish term for "the lizard", which early Spanish explorers and settlers in Florida called the alligator.
This is a picture of two alligators.
