Summary:
Sightings of alligators and other large
predators in places where conventional wisdom says they 'shouldn't be' have
increased in recent years, in large part because local populations, once hunted
to near-extinction, are rebounding. A new article finds that far from being
outliers, these sightings signify the return of highly adaptable predators to
prime hunting grounds they occupied long ago -- a trend that opens new
opportunities for future conservation.
