They are vital apex predators that keep prey populations in check. Without predators, certain species with higher reproductive rates might become overpopulated and decimate their respective food sources - be they grasses, small fish, etc. This in turn affects the rest of the ecosystem... it's a far-reaching reaction that is difficult to predict in greater detail without a specific situation to discuss, but that's the gist of it.
One use of alligators is food and another use is for clothing (today that is not politically correct). Scientists have discovered a potential use of their blood . They have found that the blood of an alligator has a protein in it that may be used as a potential antibiotic against the superbacterias.
alligator snapping turtles are an important part of the ecosystem and help keep the food chain in lined. theyare also endangered and should be protected as all animals should.
If there were no american alligators birds,fish and other animals that lived in the Everglades would take over.
Crocodiles recycle nutrients between land and aquatic ecosystems, thus making these ecosystems productive of fish and other animals serving as food for humans.
As with all animals, they are important to the food chain, but they are now good sources of tourists in America.
