Plural of alligator; large reptiles with broad snouts found in warm freshwater environments, related to crocodiles.
From Spanish 'el lagarto' (the lizard), literally 'el' (the) + 'lagarto' (lizard). Spanish conquistadors named the creatures they encountered in the Americas using this simple phrase.
Alligators have barely changed in 200 million years—they coexisted with dinosaurs and survived the asteroid that killed them, making them living fossils that watched one of Earth's greatest catastrophes.
