Alligators are often thought of as creatures of the deep South, but North Carolina was home to these remarkable reptiles long before the earliest accounts by colonial-era naturalists. Find out what makes the only Carolina crocodilian unique--we'll explore recent research and ongoing monitoring projects that are helping biologists learn more about alligator populations at the northern edge of their range - and what everyone can do to help keep alligators and people safe. You'll leave knowing how to be GatorWise in the places where people and alligators share the landscape.

Live Presentation hosted by NC Museum of Natural Sciences’ SECU Daily Planet Curator Chris Smith and the NC Department of Environmental Quality Office of Environmental Education and Public Affairs staff.
