Teams of MDWFP employees are working night and day in extreme conditions to insure that everything is being done to help those ravaged by this terrible disaster. Many MDWFP employees and their family members suffered extensive property damage and personal losses during the storm and in the trying days that followed. Our Mississippi State Parks in southern Mississippi also suffered widespread damages, some to the point that they will remain closed until extensive repairs can be made. Many State Parks employees living in those affected parks have also been displaced.

Wetlands landscape What alligators look like Alligators are large, lizard-shaped reptiles that have a scaly, dark-colored hide broad snout and long muscular tail. Note : Young alligators have bright stripes and yellow blotches, and then as they mature their skin becomes dark. Protecting the alligator An estimated 10 million alligators were killed for their skins between 1870 and 1970, when hunting controls were initiated. The American alligator is now listed as a threatened species under the federal Endangered Species Act. Though the alligator has benefited from legal protection and is now abundant in many areas, habitat loss and changes in water management continue to threaten the alligator, as well as many other wildlife species in Florida. Where alligators live The American alligator lives only in the southeastern part of the country is usually found in fresh water and is restrained by the cold temperature and distribution of the wetland.

This page is dedicated to the American Alligator, an often maligned and generally misunderstood resident of the Southeastern United States. Contents This document consists of separate sections. You may jump directly to any of the following sections by clicking on them, or you may browse through the entire document. Introduction Alligators and their kin Habitat Feeding habits ... Alligator Farming Introduction The alligator is an amazing reptile, having survived almost unchanged since the time of the dinosaurs. Having been hunted almost to the brink of extinction, this reptile has made an amazing comeback in recent years, inhabiting almost every body of water in Florida. The alligator is a very important part of our wildlife heritage, and plays an extremely important part in Florida's ecosystem. During the dry season, alligators create "gator holes" which may be the only source of water around. This provides sustenance not only to the wildlife of the area, but to the alligator as well. Alligators also feed upon the "trash fish" such as gars, which are natural predators of young game fish like bass. The alligator is now considered to be a renewable resource, and is an important part in Florida's growing aquaculture industry. The relationship between alligators and man dates back thousands of years. The first human residents of Florida hunted the alligator for its hide and meat. The teeth of an alligator were believed to be a magical ward against snakebite, as alligators were thought to be immune to the bite of poisonous snakes. The leather was used by the natives to make all types of leather items, even musical instruments such as drums.

Introduction to the Lakes Another natural resource that graces Central Florida's lakes, rivers and wetlands is a large variety of wildlife. There exists an array of fascinating creatures that depend on the undisturbed wilderness of the swamps and marshes to nest and feed. It is our hope that people will learn to respect these animals and their home sites rather than disrupt and destroy them. Every species plays a very important role in their food web, acting as the watch guard to nature's delicate balance by their mere existence. Gopher Turtle Florida has many varieties of turtles. They, too, serve an important role in the food chain. The Gopher Tortoise , the only land tortoise in the eastern United States, is declining in population rapidly due to human intervention and development. Ninety percent of the gopher tortoises live in Florida. His flattened shovel-like forelimbs and elephant-like hind legs easily recognize him. They live in dry-sandy areas where they make burrows averaging 14 feet in length and 6 feet in depth, allowing the tortoise to turn around at any point. They eat native grasses, legumes, prickly pear cactus and blackberries. Their burrows serve as shelter for many other forms of wildlife such as the endangered indigo snake, skunk, opossum, fox, rabbit, armadillo, quail and the burrowing owl. They are considered a species of special concern. Mammals You may have the pleasure of encountering a River Otter in the lakes. These playful creatures are at home on land or in the water. On land it moves in quick inchworm like fashion, while in the water it tucks its hind legs to its sides, using webbed toes for powerful swimming and its tapered tail as a rudder. This carnivorous creature feeds on fish, frogs, crayfish, rabbits, ducks and aquatic insects

Most of the 200,000 people who visit the refuge each year walk the 1.5-mile Wetland Walkway, where they can get close-up views of the birds and other marsh animals. The walkway has an observation tower, offering panoramic views of miles of the level marsh terrain. Both the walkway and the refuge visitor center are located on LA-27, the highway that passes through 10 miles of the eastern edge of the refuge. These two locations, where public use is concentrated, are designed to give visitors an understanding and appreciation for the entire 125,000 acres of protected marsh land. Fully accessible for wheelchairs, the Wetland Walkway is truly one of the finest in the refuge system. Wading birds, marsh birds, waterfowl, songbirds, swamp rabbits, muskrats, nutria, water snakes, and alligators can be closely observed in almost any season. The plentiful swamp rabbits, taking little notice of humans, are always entertaining and responsible for the consumption of untold amounts of print film and video tape.

Located at the edge of Grand Lake and 15 miles from the Gulf of Mexico, the refuge covers 32,625 acres, nearly half of which is Lacassine Pool. This huge fresh-water impoundment was built for waterfowl after the refuge was established and was later subdivided for better control of water levels. The remaining areas are natural fresh-water marsh, open water, and a small amount of upland. An undisturbed 3300-acre area on the south edge of the refuge is a declared wilderness area. Both the Intracoastal Waterway and the American-Louisiana gas pipeline canal cut through the refuge. Click here to view maps of the refuge (31k).
