How does one define canapes? Well, they are tiny appetizers, that are really works of art, served on a base like a cracker or polenta round. Usually they can be eaten in one or two bites max.
The American alligator (Alligator mississippiensis) was abundant in the pre-drainage Everglades in Southern Florida, USA. The largest populations occurred in broad marl prairies to the east and west of the southern ridge and slough and in the freshwater mangrove zone (Figure 1).
American alligators live in swamps and wetlands in the south eastern U.S. and are what is known as a âkeystone speciesâ.This means that without the alligator, many other species of animal in that ecosystem would not be able to survive.merican alligators are distinguished from crocodiles by a broad snout, dark color, and a bottom row of teeth that cannot be seen when the mouth is closed. These animals have up to 80 teeth with a bite pressure of over 2,500 lbs per square inch! Fish, small mammals, turtles, birds and apple snails.
