By Maria Fisher


People need to go out there and see other Native Americans during tours of indigenous preserves. Some prominent native stars during such tours include American alligators. Aligator tours give everyone opportunities to travel alongside certain reptile species. These species occupy unique positions influencing their ecosystems.

Alligators help to ensure freshwater areas function in manners that they should. This makes them important environmental bellwethers. Anyone undertaking a preservation tour gets reminders of the need for conservation while appreciating the fragility and beauty of nature on this planet. It is interesting that these huge and awe-inspiring creatures remind everyone about the delicate balance of nature here.

This reptile can attain a length of twelve feet. It moves so fast that it can outrun a horse on a short distance. Should it become extinct, many other creatures depending on it would get extinct too. As such, humans and the reptile have adopted means of harmoniously living together in mutual respect and leaving one another generally alone. A tour gives a person an opportunity to see this crucial ecosystem balance without disturbing it.

Feeding it makes it highly aggressive while approaching people for its food. Harmonious living of both will stop.

Many experts who organize these tours never fail to marvel at confusions of crocodiles and alligators. This confusion arises from both displaying scary teeth and their scaly skin. A part of this tour will feature lessons about how to differentiate these two. U shaped blunt snouts are for alligators. V shaped sharpish pointed snouts are for crocodiles. Lower jaws for gators are narrower than upper jaws. As such, jaws overlap hiding teeth ferociousness. Upper and lower jaws are similar in size for crocs. Teeth therefore interlock and gives them ferocious visibility.

Crocodiles prefer saline water to which they have adopted to living in while gators are at home on fresh water. Generally, crocs are lighter in skin tone in comparison to gators. Both arise from different families of reptiles. This grants them different characters particularly when you concentrate on behaviour traits and how they look like. Some crocodile types are highly aggressive compared to gators. Depending on habitats however, behaviour tends to vary for both.

With a clear distinction between the two reptile species established, fun begins with picking each during nature reserve or zoo tours. Likewise viewing those national geographic documentaries or any nature-based video becomes even more enlightening with possession of this information. So does looking at brochures, books and websites about undertaking nature themed trips.

Finally, professionals with wide experience organize these trips. They ensure their charges travel in safety and comfort using special vehicles and watercrafts.
