On the east coast of America, alligators and humans have learned to co-exist together, most dramatically in some of the golf courses across Florida and South Carolina.

In the last 30 years the world’s urban areas have almost tripled in size, changing at a rate wildlife has never experienced before. As cities are built, animals are pushed out of their natural homes. Their stories are the most surprising and captivating of all. Today, these ‘wild outcasts’ find themselves fighting for their place in a land that once belonged to them.

  1. I was swimming in the Mississippi River and the locals asked me where I was from. The alligator was on the other side looking at me and thinking something together with the locals. In the summer heat, the water in the Mississippi is like a breath of freshness for a Russian person.

  2. Golf is probably one of the most environmentally unsound sports with the gallons of water needed for grass. I say feed the golfers to the gators.

  3. Florida is loaded with "gators," as they're called in America. But go further south to the Everglades, and you have almost every possible crocodilian imaginable–alligators, crocodiles, caymens, and all their various subspecies. The Everglades is considered a fully tropical region; the subtropical part of Florida (which still has hot summers and winters) is considered subtropical. Cocodilians thrive in tropical weather.
