Researchers are worried about these reptiles becoming more susceptible to infections and unhealed lesions.

Abstract:
The American alligator is North Carolina's largest reptile. Alligators live mostly in swampy areas of the Coastal Plain, in places like Green Swamp in Columbus County and the Croatan National Forest in Carteret County. Areas like these are preferred living places because they are secluded, have a tolerable climate, and have plenty of food. Ellis describes these creatures and how they live.

Abstract:
The American alligator is found in the wildest part of southeastern North Carolina near the coast. Belonging to an order of reptiles known as the Crocodilia containing 25 species, only two species of alligator are known, and North Carolinians should consider ourselves fortunate to have such an animal in our midst. Unfortunately, many American alligators are killed by hunters for the \"thrill,\" and unless a law is passes to protect the species, the alligator will fast disappear from the scene.
