Males average 10 to 15 feet in length and can weigh 1, pounds. Females grow to a maximum of about 9.

Hatchlings are 6 to 8 inches long with yellow and black stripes. Juveniles, which are on the menu for dozens of predators, including birds, raccoons, bobcats, and even other alligators, usually stay with their mothers for about two years.

She dragged it out of the bushes and held on tight while it angrily thrashed around. Eventually the alligator tired itself out and McGregor was able to drop down with her knees behind its front legs, tie it up properly, and take it out of the school yard. The dad reached up with his free arms, grabbed hold of the alligator's jaws, and pried them open with all of his might.

The animal eventually released him, and Bostwick was transported to the hospital where his injuries were treated with 50 stitches and a few staples. The animal tried to drag her back into the water, but the tough woman managed to hold onto dry land long enough to catch the attention of a stranger, who scared the alligator away.
