Crocodiles and the Alligators

Crocodiles and Alligator look almost alike. Depending on the region one is coming from, these dangerous animals are some of the most important animals in making sure many of the worlds rivers, lakes and swamps are swept clean of any dead animals and which might have drowned or rotten killed and swept along in these alligators and crocodiles infested waters. There are two living Alligator species: the American Alligator (Alligator mississippiensis) and the Chinese Alligator (Alligator sinensis). As far as the definition of an alligator is concerned, an alligator comes from the crocodilian is in the genus Alligator of the family Alligatoridae. Alligator comes from the Spanish word el lagarto (the lizard). This is the famous name which was given to the alligators by the early Spanish explorers and settlers in Florida called the alligator.

Alligator adaptations

There are many adaptations for the American alligator. Baby alligators have an egg tooth that helps them get out of their egg during hatching time. They also have a muscular flat tail that propels them forward while they swim.

Alligator DESCRIPTION

The Alligator is notorious for its bone crushing bite. In addition, the Alligator has been described as a 'living fossil from the age of reptiles, having survived on earth for 200 million years'.

An average adult American Alligator's weight and length is 800 pounds (360 kg) and 13 feet (4.0 m) long, but can grow to 14.5 feet (4.4 m) long and weigh 1,032 pounds (468 kg). According to the Everglades National Park website, the largest Alligator ever recorded in Florida was 17 feet 5 inches (5.3 m), although according to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission web site the Florida state record for length is a 14 feet 5/8 inches (4.28 m) male from Lake Monroe in Seminole County. The Chinese Alligator is smaller, rarely exceeding 7 feet (2.1 m) in length. Alligators have an average of 75 teeth.

The average lifespan for an Alligator is 50 years. A specimen named Muja has resided in the Belgrade Zoo in Serbia since 1937 (74 years ago), making it at least 71 years old. Another specimen, Čabulītis, in Riga Zoo, Latvia died in 2007 (4 years ago) being more than 75 years old.[citation needed]

Alligator Natural Habitat

Alligators of various ages in Everglades National Park Alligators are only native to the United States and China.

American alligators are found in the southeast United States: all of Florida and Louisiana, the southern parts of Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi, coastal South and North Carolina, Eastern Texas, the southeast corner of Oklahoma and the southern tip of Arkansas. Alligators have also been found in extreme southern Missouri along the Mississippi River during the summer months.

According to the 2005 (6 years ago) Scholastic Book of World Records, Louisiana is the state with the largest Alligator population. The majority of American alligators inhabit Florida and Louisiana, with over a million alligators in each state. American alligators live in freshwater environments, such as ponds, marshes, wetlands, rivers, lakes, and swamps, as well as brackish environment. Southern Florida is the only place where both alligators and crocodiles live side by side.

The Chinese Alligator currently is found only in the Yangtze River valley and is extremely endangered, with only a few dozen believed to be left in the wild. Indeed, far more Chinese alligators live in zoos around the world than can be found in the wild. Rockefeller Wildlife Refuge in southern Louisiana has several in captivity in an attempt to preserve the species. Miami Metro Zoo in Florida also has a breeding pair of Chinese alligators. The St. Augustine Alligator Farm Zoological Park has successfully reproduced Chinese Alligators and been fortunate enough to release some of their offspring back Into The Wild (9 walls) in China.

Chomp, Snap, and Survive: How Crocodiles and Alligators Adapted to Their Environments

Alligator Natural Behavior

Large male alligators are solitary, territorial animals. Smaller alligators can often be found in large numbers in close proximity to each other. The largest of the species (both males and females), will defend prime territory; smaller alligators have a higher tolerance of other alligators within a similar size class. Although alligators have a heavy body and a slow metabolism, they are capable of short bursts of speed, especially in very short lunges.

Alligators' main prey is smaller animals that they can kill and eat with a single bite. Alligators may kill larger prey by grabbing it and dragging it into the water to drown. Alligators consume food that could not be eaten in one bite by allowing it to rot or by biting and then spinning or convulsing wildly until bite-size chunks are torn off. This is referred to as a "death roll." A hard-wired response developed over millions of years of evolution, even juvenile alligators execute death rolls when presented with chunks of meat. Critical to the Alligator's ability to initiate a death roll, the tail must flex to a significant angle relative to its body. An Alligator with an immobilized tail cannot do a death roll.

From Prehistoric Times to Today: The Evolution of Crocodiles and Alligators

Most of the muscle in an Alligator's jaw is intended for biting and gripping prey. The muscles that close the jaws are exceptionally powerful, however the muscles for opening their jaws are relatively weak in comparison. As a result, an adult man can hold an Alligator's jaws shut with his bare hands. In general, a strip of duct tape is enough to prevent an adult Alligator from opening its jaws and is one of the most common methods used when alligators are to be captured and/or transported.

Alligators are generally timid towards humans and tend to walk or swim away if one approaches. Unfortunately, this has led some people to the practice of approaching alligators and their nests in a way that may provoke the animals into attacking. In the state of Florida, it is illegal to feed wild alligators at any time. If fed, the alligators will eventually lose their fear of humans and will learn to associate humans with food, thereby becoming a greater danger to people.

When young they eat fish, insects, snails, crustaceans, and worms. As they grow, they take progressively larger prey items, including larger fish such as gar, turtles, various mammals, birds, antelope and other reptiles. Their stomachs also often contain gastroliths. They will even consume carrion if they are sufficiently hungry. Adult alligators can take razorbacks and deer and are well known to kill and eat smaller alligators. In some cases, larger alligators are known to hunt the Florida panther and black bears, making it the apex predator throughout its distribution.

As humans encroach onto their habitat, attacks on humans are few but not unknown. Alligators, unlike the large crocodiles, do not immediately regard a human upon encounter as prey, but may still attack in self-defense if provoked.

Alligator eggs and young

Baby alligators

A rare albino American alligatorAlligators generally mature at a length of 6 feet (1.8 m). The mating season is in early spring. The female builds a nest of vegetation where the decomposition of the vegetation provides the heat needed to incubate the eggs.

The sex of the offspring is determined by the temperature in the nest and is fixed within 7 to 21 days of the start of incubation. Incubation temperatures of 86 °F (30 °C) or lower produce a clutch of females; those of 93 °F (34 °C) or higher produce entirely males. Nests constructed on leaves are hotter than those constructed on wet marsh and, thus, the former tend to produce males and the latter, females.

The natural sex ratio at hatching is five females to one male. Females hatched from eggs incubated at 86 °F (30 °C) weigh significantly more than males hatched from eggs incubated at 93 °F (34 °C). The mother will defend the nest from predators and will assist the hatchlings to water. She will provide protection to the young for about a year if they remain in the area.

The largest threat to the young are adult alligators. Predation by adults on young can account for a mortality rate of up to fifty percent in the first year. In the past, immediately following the outlawing of Alligator hunting, populations rebounded quickly due to the suppressed number of adults preying upon the new recruits, increasing survival among the young alligators.

Some alligators are missing inhibited gene for melanin, which makes them albino. These alligators are extremely rare and practically impossible to find in the wild. They could survive only in captivity. As with all albino animals, they are very vulnerable to the sun and predators.

Choose from a variety of guided tours or hunting trips and immerse yourself in the stunning natural landscapes and diverse wildlife.

What is a safari or game hunting when it comes to Africa game hunting?

A safari or game hunting in Africa refers to a recreational activity where individuals go on a guided or self-guided expedition to observe or hunt wild animals in their natural habitats. The term "safari" originated in East Africa and means "journey" or "expedition" in Swahili.

Lions and Tigers and Giraffes, Oh My! A Guide to African Wildlife

Safaris can take many forms, from guided tours in a vehicle or on foot to hunting trips where participants are accompanied by trained guides and trackers. Game hunting, which is legal in some African countries, involves hunting and killing wild animals for sport or food. However, it is important to note that many African countries have strict laws and regulations around hunting, with some species being protected or off-limits for hunting altogether.

In recent years, the focus of safaris has shifted towards wildlife conservation and responsible tourism, with many companies offering eco-friendly and sustainable safari experiences. These types of safaris prioritize the observation and preservation of wildlife in their natural habitats, while minimizing the impact on the environment and supporting local communities.

Is Africa being the continent with all its glamour of visiting and being depicted as what would be a safari with out hunting for game? All over the globe man has has slowly tamed the wilderness all the way from the Arctic circle to the Cape of Good hope in Africa and deep in the Australia jungles. Just for the sake of animal hunting, man has pushed deeper in many of the world tropical rain forest pipping his nose against the ruthless terror of the jungles which are richly infested with animals of different sizes big animals small animals venomous insects, poisonous plants and dangerous animal attacks along the way.

In many of the African jungles, many have made safaris come hunting for game in these hunting territories resisted man with miles of dangerous jungles, swamps infested by the African Nile crocodiles and the great hippopotamus, grassland full of lions, leopards cheetahs rhinos buffaloes and many of the beautiful animals roaming the African Savannah south of the Sahara Desert just for the sake of game hunting and reasons best known to them as to really what is a safari for them.

Safari Chic: What to Wear on Your African Adventure

Having an access a safari to these hunting areas, many hunters while on their hunting outfitters would battle rapids, waterfalls and crocodiles of different sizes. Their great African safari dugout canoes would be just too flimsy and would easily tip over in these dangerous African great rivers if one had opted to get into the deep jungles of Africa for the best hunting places.

Off the Beaten Path: Exploring the Hidden Gems of Africa

From the early 1900s Africa for hunting safaris was "The Place" for the rich and the royal to go hunting. have the odds changed now that the world is a global village where you can hunt in the Amazon forest and take a cool refreshing breeze at the beautiful sandy beaches of Mombasa at the Kenyan coast. What came along was the most common Tsetse fly which causes sleeping sickness. Many of the wild animals which live in these hunting areas were immune to the tsetse fly.

Humans have been part of this world and have evolved from the primitive gathers and gone to be part of the hunters cultured which was instilled from out great fore fathers. With the demise of many wild animals which was a source of food in most of the jungles and a source of proteins, hunting of wild animals was still carried out in may of the continents not just as a sport but to quench the hunger and the lust to many of the few hunters who had the guts to venture into such an enduring hunting spirit not born within. Despite Africa being an elephant country, elephant meat was a great delicacy.

Game Hunting: The Thrill of the Hunt in Africa

With the turn of the Century, I guess many of the modern hunters hunters associate Africa or the Dark Continent with the big game hunting or Big Five species which are mostly hunting of the African Lion, the African forest elephant, the rhino, the buffalo and the fastest animal on earth the cheetah ("Dangerous Game") On the other hand, many of the great African entertainments are the outstanding rich flora and fauna which has a rich and welcoming hospitality with romantic traditional tented safaris allover the African continent which is a must see for all those animal loving souls.

With many geopolitics and Geo economis being part of our daily hustle sand bustles, a lot of changes are now the order of the day where by, both human rights are to be followed and at the same time as little as an African ant is, its all animal rights are to be extended to it as well. With many of the worlds animal becoming extinct, many are now on the endangered list and there is a need to do something about it not for the sake of future generation but for the sake of what belongs to the planet and has equal right as you and me. Having no yardstick to assist in what needs to be hunted and what is just there to be adored as opposed for the sake of big game trophies

Safari Diaries: Tales from the African Wilderness

The Maasai tribe in many parts of East Africa it was a life for a life. The your Maasai had to undergo an initiation stage, the councilor elders used to decide who would be sent out after the lions. these Masai have been accustomed to live with the lions as they have been known as Man Eaters and in constant touch eating their cows. The chosen Masai worrier would only put on a fantastic head dress which is made up of ostrich feather. This was as important to the hunt as it was to the spear.

Not all Maasai were allowed to go on the hunt as the chief could only take along those who were chosen by the council to go for the lion hunting. Most of the younger worriers hunters would wear head dresses mane from the mane of the lions as all their lives they have lived on animal food, blood and water and they would respect the lion they hunt. The animal hunters faces legs and chest would be painted red, yellow and white with reasons best known to them during the animal hunting of the day with a substance made from the ashes with a previously killed lion. Naked or half naked they would carry along with them a long bladed spear with a buffalo hides shield skins colored with bold patterns would put their hearts out during the lion hunt.

Game Hunting: The Thrill of the Hunt in Africa

All morning the tireless Maasai worriers hunters would advance the grassy plains and the long lions. the would beat a cross a circle 12 miles in diameter. The hunters wound form a circle around the beast. The razor sharp spear heads melt like silver in the sun rays. In small groups the Maasai hunters would come closer and gradually for the ring of death. One by one they would take their place in the ring and when the Maasai hunter are near enough crouch behind their shields. With a spear in the hand of the Maasai lion hunter and their fierce ego leaning facing over the realms.

With the Maasai hunters shields held steady and high enough to protect the body and quivering spears poised for some action, the Maasai hunters would charge towards the hunted animal. When the ring of death is complete, the hunted lion has nothing to stand against these trained hunters. The secret to the most important part of the animal hunt was that the death ring must not be broken what ever the cost. For the man who ever steps back in the face of a charge is for ever branded a coward. Once the lion charges, it would be met with a dozen spears and within a matter of seconds the hunted animal would be down and with a result of shouting and chanting.

They would worship the lions power with deep respect just after the hunt where by the elders used to. With different hunting techniques among the safari hunters, those who came to Africa to hunt for the big game trophies you find that leopard hunting used to take place or hunting the traditional manner (from a blind over bait). While some animal hunting used trackers or dogs during their hunting expeditions.

Game On: Hunting the Big Five in Africa

Despite the fact that hunting of the big five is not allowed in many parts of the world, there are still a few countries in Africa where hunting safaris of wild animals is till allowed. The Cape Buffalo which is one of the top ten most dangerous animal in the world is one of Africa's biggest animal that are available hunt for the big game trophies due to their bounty in the private cattle ranches.

With all right hunting documents and papers in place, these African safari hunting of buffaloes go for $10-15K as compared to a domestic cow which is almost worth perhaps $500. Buffalo hunts are very popular and widely available and the hunting of them is as hair-raising as ever. Not may people in the world are for the idea of such hunting activities now that many of the existing animals have little natural habitat and breeding grounds and not for getting that many of the animal migration corridors have been replaced with tarmac roads, high rise buildings and fenced or protected farmlands which are to cater for the continuous supply of food to the already six billion hungry mouths to feed.

Take a Walk on the Wild Side: A Beginner's Guide to African Safaris

Way back in the 1800s, people from all walk of life from Europe, Asia and the Americas came to Africa to hunt. Africa was the land of dangerous wild animals plenty and people would make these great safaris for the sake of big game trophies. Who wouldn't want to make news about Africa while going back from an African safari hunting holiday? This was just the epic of the great many a safaris to Africa which were to come hence forth.

Safari So Good: The Ultimate African Adventure

The list of countries where one can still hunt the Big Five or for the big game trophies is dwindling, and the cost of these hunts is now beyond the reach of many people who would have loved to go hunting on their African Safari holiday. For the moment South Africa in the whole world is where one can go for animal hunting and is allowed to hunt any kind of animals available in the country and specially allowed to hunt the lion, the African elephant, the African buffaloes, the rhino and the cheetah also know as the five legally.

The big game trophies hunting of these animals is always done in special designated hunting grounds or animal habitat where the population of the animals to be hunted is beyond the carrying capacity thereby giving the need to reduce the animal population in that area but hunting them down. While many eyebrows may be raised in terms of this hunting spree, many animal experts say that the hunting or reducing of such animals in a given habitat is healthy of rt he existence of the ecosystem.

With rising costs of maintaining many of the national and reserved animal sanctuaries, revenues generated help maintain and promote such facilities and as a result a continuous healthy breeding of the same is of the top most priority. While countries such as Namibia might allow you to hunt, the African rhino is just one of the African animal which is not easy to opt as an animal for hunting during your Africa's adventurous animal safari hunt

The Call of the Wild: Answering the African Safari's Siren Song

What is a safari in these beautiful African safari countries such in Tanzania, Zambia, Zimbabwe, parts of Namibia, Mozambique and several Central and Western African countries who would think that hunting safaris and hunting expeditions are still organized as part of the traditions according to the existing laws of the country for the big game trophies.

You get that whether small animals or big animal safari hunting what ever goes depending on the nature of the hunting safari and the hunting season, the hunting designated areas and localities are at the stake of the local governments and for many countries, this has come at a time when the credit crunch is just one area where hunting of animals is just a cushion for the little source of foreign currency.

With few water catchment areas and scarcity of water not only for the local inhabitants, animals in these areas are well adopted to such regions grazing on the few herbs and scrubs in these sparsely barren lands where not a grain can stand out to blossom in the ever changing global warming. So with n water for agriculture to sustain the population, tsetse flies are just the hunting enemies of man day in and day out which has resulted in these hunting grounds t o be designated as fit for hunting.

One would wonder where is all that technology to revamp these barren lands to rich flora and fauna in its original form instead of spending or reclaiming vast mountains of hunting lands. Nature really knows when and where to prepare these hunting for the big game trophies episodes for people to ponder.

Into the Wild: A Journey through Africa's Most Spectacular Landscapes

With luck of specialized veterinary doctors and medical facilities, you find that hunting or rhinos is just not the animal to be hunted for the big game trophies while any lion hunting is just out of the question as many of the lions are just too few to be finished and a lot to lose as would be the case for these countries which allow animal hunting to be carried out. With break downs of feline, this dangerous animal disease has hunted many of the lions and brought them down.

As a result, the number of lions has gone down and with many of the hue and cry from the farmers who co inhabit the animal habitats have always hunted these man eaters and leopards down as they have always hunted their animals or cattle for ages. that has reduced lion numbers in recent years, and the fact that lions and humans, particularly cattle farmers, do not get along well.

In many African great safari destinations leopard are found and hunted for the big game trophies in every country in Southern Africa but Botswana has put an end of hunting of the leopard due to its strong eco-tourist industry and helping reviving many of the endangered animals species in the region as well.

While at the moment grounds have been made to help save the African elephant at the same time these great beautiful African Elephant are just some of Africa's elephants species that have seen their numbers go up to the point where there are far too many elephant African elephants for the remaining habitat in many Southern African countries.

As far as the yardstick for measuring the "Number of African elephants being plenty" for may African countries which depend on tourism and for the welfare of these African wild animals such bases are not true in the rest of Africa, particularly those countries that don't "get" the economics of big game hunting and have allowed their elephant populations to dwindle due to lack of habitat and ivory poaching or what some would say hunting for the sake of big game trophies.

With a lot of hue and cry made to stop the sale of ivory and elephant related products some African countries have the opinion that the elephants without tusks are easy to get them hunted down as compared to he cost of a Cape Buffalo hunt while at the same time supporting of exportable trophy bull elephant hunts. Despite the fact that animal or elephant hunting is not a good idea to the common man, for those animal hunters, they would go miles and push over the envelop just to get that elephant which has tusk.

Despite the fact that getting an elephant to hunt or a bull with heavy ivory outside the National Parks is still a challenge though. To some extent, there are those who would try to bend the rule here and there to get their job done while creating problems for the elephant family and great conservation efforts as well. The amazing fact about elephants is that the African elephants need to live long enough around 50 year for the elephant to have good tusk. Not may elephants will reach this age if the poaching continues for us to once again see the giant elephant tusks which once was the icon of many of the African jungles.

The Call of the Wild: Answering the African Safari's Siren Song

Where would you think the best country or place for the safari hunting would be. Africa is just a continent with different geographical boundaries and political boundaries as well which are very porous. For what has been an ideal destination for big trophy Elephant is you find that Botswana is one of Africa's country, where very large African elephants are hunted each year at prices that can only be afforded by the rich. On the other hand Namibia also follows soot in this vast history of big game hunting for trophies.

With many of the African elephants population thriving and found in big numbers, many of the parks and sanctuaries with Elephant have seen an increase of the elephant populations beyond its carrying capacity of many national parks and concessions in Southern Africa, as a result of the decision to end culling in the late 80s (the resulting population explosion triggered a habitat crisis and culling was about to resume in South Africa as well as Zimbabwe and possibly Botswana).

What is true about elephants is that these giant creatures are the most intelligent dangerous game species and are extremely challenging to hunt. There are many reasons as to who is to hunt what and how animal should be hunted down. That being said you find that hunters have to graduate to start going hunting for bigger prey such as elephants.

Hippopotamus and the great Nile crocodiles have become desirable trophies and the term "Big Five" has been expanded to "Dangerous Seven" with the inclusion of these two species. Africa having some of the longest and the deepest rivers in the world have a lot of Hippopotamus herds in its great rivers. These giant hippos are responsible for many dangerous animal attacks and cause of deaths in Africa than any other animal along the shores of these navigable lakes and rivers of Africa.

While many other parts of the continent offers a wide variety of big game hunting, so long as the law allows it, these big game hunting are just part of the curling of wild animals in their habitat so as to control their population and for their own survival and for other animal species as well. Many who would go on safari would like to go hunting at the expected time and hunt for the big game trophies.

The ostrich being the biggest flightless bird in the world had little or no vocabulary in the Maasai community.

The ostrich also being considered as a bird was not of great importance as far as meat was concerned. With plenty of hears of cows which could sustain the whole clan, the Maasai could not digest that the ostrich with all its amazing facts and usages could fit in their menu and part of their animals or birds to breed.
