How fast can an alligator run on land?
The EcoFlorida Web site used to have a Q&A that answered this question. But so many peevish people e-mailed us to dispute the answer — despite the fact we provided our source of information — that the page was taken off. EcoFlorida isn’t here to dispute information with people. Like a network news organization, EcoFlorida provides information — but unlike such a media conglomerate, there’s not a giant staff to field questions from people who only want to argue or question the source of information (which, by the way, was Everglades National Park, where there are plenty of alligators and where rangers probably know what they are talking about!). If this bothers you, please contact the park directly, or find another source to answer your question.
