More About Alligators and Caymans ...

Alligator is a genus of the Alligatoridae family of crocodile-like reptiles. It includes two known species:
American Alligator (Alligator mississippiensis)
Chinese Alligator (Alligator sinensis)
Alligators live in wet, stagnant, freshwater environments, so look out for them in ponds, marshes, or swamps. Although alligators have heavy bodies and slow metabolisms, be aware that they are capable of short bursts of speed that can exceed 30 miles per hour. Alligators kill by biting their prey and then spinning and convulsing wildly. These fits can easily tear you apart, so if bitten, immediately jump on the alligators back and pin it to prevent it from spinning. The jaws of alligators are very strong, so there is no chance of you being able to pry its mouth open. To make it release, gouge its exposed eyes with your thumbs. Some species of alligator have protective cuticles over their eyes, but even these will eventually succumb to the pain and release you (Unfortunately, alligators exceeding lengths of 10 feet are usually too powerful to subdue. This is also true with almost all crocodiles, which are considerably fiercer and stronger than their alligator cousins). Once released, move away from the area as quickly as possible and seek medical attention. Alligators? mouths are covered in rotting flesh, making them breeding grounds for deadly pathogens. To avoid gangrene or other maladies, ingest powerful antibiotics, or, if unavailable, cauterize your wounds with fire.
