An alligator is a crocodilian in the genus Alligator of the family Alligatoridae. The two living species are the American alligator (A. mississippiensis) and the Chinese alligator (A. sinensis). In addition, several extinct species of alligator are known from fossil remains.
The largest alligator population lives in the state of Louisiana, and they are found in marshy areas of other states such as Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama, North and South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida. Alligators live in freshwater and brackish swamps and marshes. Other than the rare Chinese Alligator, which lives on the Yangtze River, alligators are native to the southeastern United States. They are different in several ways from the related crocodilians known as crocodiles.
