About Alligator

• Alligators have been harvested for 200 years.
• A significant drop in the population in Louisiana caused the state to close the hunting season in 1962.
• Protection, research, and sustainable management made harvesting possible again, and the hunting season reopened in 1981.
• Alligators have up to 80 teeth.
• Alligators can live up to 50 years in the wild.
