Can Alligators Survive This Apex Predator?
The article discusses the ancient reign of alligators in Everglades National Park and the challenges they face from invasive species. Human activity, such as introducing non-native species and draining the swamp for farmland, has disrupted the ecosystem and impacted the alligators’ food supply. Conservation efforts have highlighted the important role of alligators in maintaining the ecosystem, but the invasion of species like Burmese pythons and tegus has further threatened their population. Potential solutions to the problem include hunting invasive species or introducing new creatures to restore balance.
