With a population of nearly three million, the American alligator is far from endangered. At one time they were threatened, but conservation measures put in place allowed them to rebuild their numbers.

They have a huge bite, powerful claws and a strong tail to whip things with.

Because they can bite you and kill you. However, if you're suicidal, many of these at a time and bathing with them would be good for you.

Why are alligators the most dangerous animals in the world?

It is very doubtful if alligators really are that dangerous; they are not even in the top-20. Since 2001, less than 20 people got killed in the USA by alligators, and that usually by foolishly swimming in waters where alligators lived. Worldwide AND including all species of crocodiles, the count goes up to around 25-30,000 since 2001. Compare that to kills by hippos: hippos killed around 45,000 people since 2001. But it is mosquitos (carrying malaria among other diseases) that are - with around 15 million kills since 2001 - the most lethal to humans.

As juveniles, many are eaten by larger fish, turtles, birds and other alligators. Once they reach a size of about 4 feet, their only real predators are other alligators, and many are killed in fights over space, food, etc. Humans who kill them for their meat and hides could also be considered predators, so certainly not "natural".
