Crocodiles' cousins, Gators, are a species of large aquatic reptiles that belong to the same family as crocodiles. They are native to the southeastern United States and can be found in freshwater habitats such as rivers, lakes, swamps, and marshes. Gators have long, powerful tails and webbed feet, and their bodies are covered in tough scales. They are carnivorous and feed on fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals. Gators are considered to be apex predators and are known for their aggressive behavior.
