Alligator
Alligator mississippiensis
Alligators bellow in spring; the water around them actually dances.
Fish, turtles, birds, mammals — swamp buffet, all you can chomp.
Cheetah
Acinonyx jubatus
A cheetah's tail is a rudder. It steers mid-sprint like a boat.
They prefer gazelles and other speedy snacks they can outrun.
