American Alligator (Alligator Mississippiensis)

American alligator (Alligator mississippiensis), is a large reptile native to fresh water wetlands, rivers and lakes in the Southeastern United States. They are apex predators consuming fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals. Hatchlings feed mostly on invertebrates. The species was listed as an endangered species but conservation efforts have allowed their numbers to increase and the species was removed from endangered status. The species is the official state reptile of Florida, Louisiana, and Mississippi. They hold the record as having the strongest laboratory-measured bite of any living animal.

Timber Rattlesnake (Crotalus horridus)

Timber rattlesnake (Crotalus horridus) is a species of pit viper in the family Viperidae. It is native to the eastern United States. It is venomous, with a very toxic bite. It is the only rattlesnake species in that part of the United States. The prey of the timber rattlesnake are mainly small animals, in particular rodents, birds, and frogs. This is one of North America's most dangerous snakes, due to its long fangs, impressive size, and high venom yield. This is offset by its relatively mild disposition and that this species is found in deciduous forests in rugged terrain.
