Beware the USA's dangerous wild animals
Over a million alligators live in slow-moving rivers, lakes, marshes and swamps in the southern states of Florida, Louisiana, Texas and Georgia. They are usually 3 to 5 metres long and eat almost anything, swallowing it whole. They often hide motionless, usually waiting to snatch their prey and drag it under the water. Never try to feed alligators or walk too close to the edge of the water. You don’t want to become an alligator’s next meal!
Fascinating fact:
Alligators have about 80 teeth which are replaced continuously. Throughout their lifetime they go through at least 2,000 of them!
Grizzly bears live alongside streams, lakes and rivers in Alaska and northwestern states such as Idaho, Montana, Washington and Wyoming. Although sightings are not very common, these huge animals are the most dangerous of all bears and can easily kill or seriously injure humans. They can be unpredictable and ferocious, especially when they are hungry, injured or with their cubs. So, if a bear approaches you, don’t run and if you are attacked, lie face down and play dead!
Fascinating fact: Grizzlies can run climb trees!
Rattlesnakes live mostly in the southwestern states, such as California and Arizona and are the most common type of poisonous snake in the country. There are 29 to 30 different species, but they all have one thing in common - a rattle on their tail that is used to warn other creatures (and people!) to stay away. A rattlesnake’s bite is very painful and the venom can be fatal. So, when you are walking in an area where there could be snakes, watch where you step. If you know there are rattlesnakes around, wear strong leather boots!
Fascinating fact:
Baby rattlesnakes are able to attack their prey minutes after they are born!
Raccoons might look cute and cuddly, but they can actually carry many diseases, including rabies, a deadly virus. They are often found in attics or garages, or searching for food in rubbish bins which they can open with their paws. If you see a raccoon, don’t touch it. If you are ever scratched by one, wash the scratch well and see a doctor immediately.
Fascinating fact: Some raccoons manage to get into kitchens through cat flaps!
