The number one species visitors want to see in the Everglades is the rare American alligator, which lives along the southeastern United States. These freshwater dwellers can reach up to 15 feet in length for males and 10 feet for females! Alligators are considered a keynote species in the national park. Their nests aid in the creation of peat, and they even serve as spots for various species of turtles to incubate their eggs. Alligator holes offer refuge for other wildlife during the dry season.
