About this ebook
An alligator is an animal that looks a lot like a huge lizard.
Alligators have thick, hard skin across the entire top of their body. This skin is greenish brown in color. It is covered with bony plates called scutes. These scutes help protect the alligator just like a turtle's shell protects the turtle.
The skin on an alligator's belly is much softer and thinner. It is also much lighter in color. It is a yellowish white color.
Find out more about this amazing animal and learn the answers to these questions:
How long can an alligator hold its breath?
How do you tell the difference between an alligator and a crocodile?
If an alligator is frozen in the ice, can it live?
How many teeth will an alligator have in its lifetime?
How do alligators help keep other animals in their area alive?
Learn what an alligator looks like, where they live, what they eat, who are their enemies, how babies are born, and other fun facts.
Ages 7 to 10
All measurements in American and metric.
