Gators Are Sensitive To Environmental Changes - Everglades

Gators Are Sensitive To Environmental Changes - Everglades

An American alligator sits while researchers collect data during a crocodile and alligator research survey with the University of Florida Croc Docs team Thursday, November 7, 2024, in Everglades National Park, FL, USA. Alligators like to hunt in the dark but tonight they’re the creatures being stalked, not for sport but for science by two University of Florida wildlife biologists, Sergio Balaguera-Reina and Kevin Olejiczak. Alligators, along with their cousins and co-residents crocodiles, are sensitive to environmental changes in the Everglades. That makes them what scientists call a good “indicator species” for assessing progress in the on-going multibillion-dollar effort to restore the natural water flow to the sprawling River of Grass. Gators are a bit like Goldilocks. Too much water, and they use too much energy trying to catching fish and other prey. Not enough, and they struggle to move or mate. They need the water just right.
