This is a non-fiction book about Alligators from a wonderful animal series that is packed full of interesting facts about habitat, diet, behavior, appearance, predators, characteristics, mating habits and raising the young.  Environmental and human hazards are also explored.  There is a habitat map as well as an index, glossary, quick facts page and a page for further resources.  These books are well-written and full of beautiful and high quality color photographs of alligators in their natural habitat.  I highly recommend this book.
