Texas Alligators

Focusing on the American alligator in Texas, the updated book offers a brief, but comprehensive, look at this fascinating reptile, including its range and where the public can view gators in the state. The anatomy of the alligator and its life cycle are discussed, as well as hunting and farming regulations. A glimpse of the animal's history reveals the almost extinction and recovery of the alligator--which prompted emphasis in the book on the ongoing protection of the gator and its habitat. The book is a first-place award winner in the 2017 Texas Association of Authors contest--in the category of Non-fiction/Educational.
