Answer 2

The Chinese alligator was at one time widely distributed throughout China, but today is restricted to the lower Yangtze River and some of its tributaries. They are currently found in the provinces of Jiangau, Zhejiang, and Anhui.

Chinese alligators prefer slow-moving freshwater and can be found in lakes, ponds, rivers, streams, swamps, and marshes. They live 333 ft (100 m) above sea level and hibernate 6-7 months of the year.

Chinese alligators can be beneficial to their environment because they dig holes known as "Gator Holes" which fill up with water. If the marsh ever dries up, the water remains in the holes and can support much of the water life until the marsh fills back up again. Gator holes also provide shelter for raccoons and other mammals. Chinese alligators also dig elaborate dens in which they hibernate. These dens average 75 ft (22.5 m) in length and contain one or more rooms as well as several breathing holes.
