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).
The Chinese Alligator lives in swamps and ponds in the lower basin of the Yangtze River, which is the last stretch of the Chang River in China. They like to eat pond snails and other shell fish. They may also catch fish and birds. The Chinese Alligator may grow to two meters in length, but it does not attack humans.
