Extractions: A 45 foot deep natural spring is the centerpiece of this 180 acre large park, located on US 19 in Homosassa Springs, Florida. The springs are the headwaters of the beautiful Homosassa River that flows nine miles west into the Gulf of Mexico. Saltwater and freshwater fish are attracted to these natural springs with their constant, year-round temperature of 72 degrees F. A floating underwater observatory inside the springs allows the visitor to view fish and manatee at close range. The starting point of a lifetime experience.

Extractions: A female alligator lays between 20 to 50 white, goose-egg-sized eggs. She covers them under more vegetation, which, like mulch, heats as it decays, helping to keep the eggs warm. She remains near the nest throughout the 65 day incubation period, protecting the nest from intruders. When the young begin to hatch they emit a high-pitched croaking noise, and the female quickly digs them out.

Extractions: Species Spotlight American Alligators Alligators are found throughout the southeast, as far west as Texas and as far north as the Carolinas. An estimated one million alligators reside in many of the thousands of lakes and tens-of-thousands of acres of marsh and swampland in Florida. The reptiles are as much a symbol of the state as palm trees and white sand beaches. In the wild, alligators can live for 30 to 35 years. Courtship and breeding take place from April to May. In June and July, female gators lay 20-50 eggs in nests of mounded vegetation, where the eggs incubate for two months. The female remains in the area to defend the nest against raccoons and other egg-eating predators. Six- to eight-inch long alligators hatch out in mid-August to mid-September; unlike the adults, these youngsters are banded or splotched with yellow, though they darken as they mature. Wading birds, raccoons, bobcats, otters, snakes, large bass and larger alligators often eat young gators, especially those less than two years old. Once alligators are about four feet long, their greatest enemies are larger gators and people, though the effect of the latter has been reduced through strict laws and limited, controlled hunts. Alligators were placed on the endangered species list in 1973, and then delisted in 1987 when their population rebounded.
Division Of Wildlife - Alligator Research - Lake Griffin

http://wld.fwc.state.fl.us/gators/research/griffin.htm

Extractions: More than 420 large alligators (> 5 feet) have died of unknown causes on Lake Griffin since December 1997. The mortality rate increased from 1997 through 2000 (1997: 6, 1998: 65, 1999: 101, 2000: 145) but has been decreasing since April 2001 (2001 total: 75) and continues to decrease in 2002 (32 as of Nov. 15th). Both male and female alligators are affected. Unusual numbers of dead softshell turtles and longnose gar also have been found. Other wildlife and fish species seem to be unaffected. In response, the Division of Wildlife (DOW) formed a partnership of 13 agencies and organizations called the Central Florida Lakes Wildlife Initiative to investigate alligator and other wildlife mortality. This group includes scientists from, among others, the University of Florida, the Florida Museum of Natural History, the U.S. Geological Survey, the St. Johns River Water Management District, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and the FWC. The DOW has contributed $12,000 to support this group. The Initiative has identified funding needs of over 900,000 dollars to determine the cause. Funding from the Lake County Water Authority, the St. Johns River WMD, and the Wildlife Foundation of Florida has provided partial funding that has complemented DOW efforts. Sick alligators on Lake Griffin have been captured by DOW biologists, examined by wildlife veterinarians at the University of Florida and compared to healthy alligators from Lake Woodruff National Wildlife Refuge. Sick alligators were lethargic but otherwise, in good physical condition. However, most alligators had nervous system disease that included a brain lesion. Veterinarians believe that alligators died of complications from this nervous system disease.

Prochaska, Hayden Haucke, and James C. Cathey, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department In spite of their popularity and importance, surprisingly little is known about populations of American alligators ( Alligator mississippiensis ) in Texas, particularly about populations located within inland, forested areas. We have noted interesting characteristics of alligators in inland areas that appear distinct from the more studied coastal populations. For example, while alligators seem to be present in creeks and impoundments within their inland range, we suspect they occur at relatively low population densities, and may persist as isolated family groups. Consequently, populations of alligators in these areas are probably structured very differently, both demographically and genetically, from coastal alligator populations. Clearly, these differences need to be quantified and understood for proper management of alligators in different parts of their range.

Wilson Forget about alligators in the sewer, because one West Texas school found them on the practice field, shortly before school was scheduled to begin. Anyone who has followed the weather news knows that Texas has been inundated with floods, and it was this that led the alligators to come to a school in Dallas. Oh, they didn't come to eat. No, not at all, they came for the party of the decade. They were joined by such notables as poisonous snakes, bobcats, and others of the animal kingdom. The armadillos refused the invitation, saying "They had far too much on their plates." In recent years, Texas streets and suburbs have seen an outgrowth of animals wanting a home in the housing districts. Our on home, is a place of residence to a very snooty possum. As a result of late night visits, our cat's food bowl has been moved to the kitchen, so that the possum might make her own way in the world. We live three streets away from an open field, and it is not at all unusual to hear the cry of coyotes, or see scampering raccoons during the early morning hours. Life, such it is in the animal kingdom, has returned to the days of the Wild West. I'm waiting for the night when we hear the thundering of buffalo hooves coming down the street. Our town possesses the rare sightings of two red foxes, one white fox, and the creek-wandering mountain lion. Bobcats have for years come out of Post Oak creek to snatch the small prey, more abundant

Extractions: Last updated: October 11, 2002 Poster presented May 1999, at the South Florida Restoration Science Forum Biographies Alligators and crocodiles are keystone species in the Everglades ecosystem serving as indicators of the ecological health and condition of the system. Research includes population and nesting studies, radio telemetry to determine home ranges and thermoregulation of individuals, and habitat studies such as the role of alligator holes in the Everglades landscape. Monarchs of the Everglades Why are they important to the Everglades? Photo of alligator hole Everglades Alligator Hole Implications Alligators are a keystone species in the Everglades ecosystem. Alligator holes provide habitat for plants and animals and link a number of Everglades ecology projects. Dependence of American crocodiles on a healthy estuary makes them a keystone species linking freshwater and saltwater ecosystems of the Everglades and Florida Bay. Ecosystem management for crocodiles will benefit other species dependent on a healthy estuary.

Extractions: Other things to look for: The snout is broad. The large fourth tooth is not visible when the mouth is closed. Courting and mating occur in the spring. Both sexes may be territorial. In the swamps and sloughs The American Alligator is carnivorous and will eat anything it can catch and swallow. This includes fish, amphibians, smaller alligators, snakes, waterfowl, raccoons, and wild pigs. This species occurs in a variety of habitats, from large rivers to swamps and marshes. It prefers shallow fresh water with shoreline vegetation and mud or sand banks. It often basks on the shore during the day, but will hunt both day and night. It also digs deep "'gator holes" that can serve as ecologically important refuges for aquatic organisms when the water is low.
