Status Updates From American Alligator: Ancient...

No book on alligators works be complete without a discussion of attacks. The author does a good job addressing the hype. I think I'll skip the *extensive* bibliography and call this done.

Fascinating discussion of sustainable alligator farming using wild collected eggs and careful replenishment.

The alligator's umwelt is both very alien and very familiar.

I wish there was a little more discussion of taxonomy, and the almighty shieldcroc! Also, I'm curious as to the range omissions in southern Texas.
