The alligator is essential to the ecology of the Okefenokee swamp because without the alligator the type of food it eats (which is basically every thing it can catch) will start to over populate the area and the things those animals eat will start to die down because of these animals and plants start to die down something else will start to die down and so forth and so the whole ecosystem in the area will be thrown out of whack
