The Everglades Beast is a term used to describe two large reptiles that inhabit the Florida Everglades: the alligator and the gator. The alligator is a large reptile with a long, rounded snout and a heavy body, while the gator is a smaller reptile with a more pointed snout and a lighter body. Both animals are native to the wetlands of the Everglades and can be found in rivers, lakes, and swamps throughout the region.
