WHAT MAKES ALLIGATORS MAD!!!!!
By: George-Anthony

    My name is George-Anthony, and I have a question for you: Have you ever wondered
what makes an alligator mad? Well, I have wondered what their trigger is. If I
were in a swamp in Florida or Brazil or China or Japan, I would really want to
know what it is that makes an alligator mad.
    To begin, here’s a little description of the alligator for those of you who just
want to know some general information about them. The average alligator weighs
0-800ilbs and is 0-13ft long. The largest recorded alligator is 19ft (5.3 meters),
its tail was 10ft long, and its teeth were ½ a foot long. Now, can you imagine
being bit by that or hit with its tail? If you don’t want that to happen to you,
then listen. These mammals are very territorial, so that means that you should
stay away unless you’re family. And, don’t just think that only the males will
attack you. Females will attack, too, if needed. If you also want to stay alive,
stay away from their eggs. Alligators lay at least 500 eggs in a spot with other
family eggs, so don’t step on them because that would really tick them off. And if
you make alligators mad and try to run away from them, they can run up to 30mph,
and the fastest human ever recorded could only run up to 26mph. And I don’t think
that you’re the fastest human.
