Inside the Sapiens world you can meet the big alligators!
These extraordinary predators with their armored bodies, muscular tails and powerful jaws have very ancient origins. They evolved, in fact, more than 150 million years ago, and 65 million years ago they managed to avoid extinction, unlike their prehistoric contemporaries, the dinosaurs.
In Sapiens live two specimens of American alligator ( Alligator mississippiensis ): an animal once in danger of extinction but which today is experiencing a flourishing population growth. Mississippi alligators live almost exclusively in rivers, lakes and swamps of the southern United States, particularly in Florida and Louisiana. These reptiles, heavy out of water, are excellent swimmers. Males on average have a length between 3 and 4.6 meters and can weigh up to 450 kg. Females reach a maximum length of 3 meters.
