Alligator mississippiensis
American Alligator Jaw
The American alligator is an incredibly adaptable crocodilian, has lived for millions of years with little morphologic change, and has survived numerous instances of climate and sea level change relatively unaffected. It dates from the early Pliocene to the latest Pleistocene Epoch from about 5 million to 11,000 years ago and today. An average adult American alligator's weight and length is 360 kg (790 lb) and 4.0 m (13.1 ft), but they sometimes grow to 4.4 m (14 ft) long and weigh over 450 kg (990 lb). The largest ever recorded, found in Louisiana, measured 5.84 m (19.2 ft. The lifespan of modern Alligators is at least 80 years.
