The American alligator (Alligator mississippiensis), an apex predator, is common throughout the Everglades and an attraction for the millions of people who visit the region each year. Adult alligators are typically very dark, often black, while the young have bright yellow or orange stripes. Juveniles do not lose their colorful bands until they are several years old.
