How has mankind affected American alligators?

Answer 1

Because they can run over short distances at 30 miles per hour, American Alligators have begun to emerge in human settlements. Many have been seen on the field of a Golf course, and even in swimming pools.

Some people in the U.S. may feed these alligators, and subsequently they might see humans as sources of food.

American Alligators' population is virtually unaffected by humans, even though they are frequently near human areas.

Answer 2

Mankind has destroyed a lot of the alligators natural habitat - in favour of their own unabated expansion. People crave 'water-side' properties - then scream monster when they discover they're next to a nest of alligators - usually resulting in the poor reptiles being relocated ! We are supposed to be the most intelligent species on this rock we call Earth - but we're the only ones destroying it ! Go figure !

Every word above is true, however the population of the American alligator has recovered to where the species numbers in the millions.

Answer 3

That really depends on the species you're referring to.
