## Resource

Explore the diverse and vital ecosystem of the Everglades, and discover why the alligator is so essential to the region.--Despite alligators ruling the swamplands of the Everglades for millennia, the last 500 years have brought deadly new predators that challenge their reign. And the origins of these international invaders are just as unexpected as their impact on the Everglades. So, what exactly is threatening this biodiverse region? Kenny Coogan explores the unique and precious ecosystem.Lesson by Kenny Coogan, directed by Doug Alberts, Noodle.Support Our Non-Profit Mission----------------------------------------------Support us on Patreon: http://bit.ly/TEDEdPatreonCheck out our merch: http://bit.ly/TEDEDShop----------------------------------------------Connect With Us----------------------------------------------Sign up for our newsletter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdNewsletterFollow us on Facebook: http://bit.ly/TEDEdFacebookFind us on Twitter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdTwitterPeep us on Instagram: http://bit.ly/TEDEdInstagram----------------------------------------------Keep Learning----------------------------------------------View full lesson: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/can-alligators-survive-this-apex-predator-kenny-cooganDig deeper with additional resources: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/can-alligators-survive-this-apex-predator-kenny-coogan#digdeeperAnimator's website: https://www.noodleanimation.com----------------------------------------------Thank you so much to our patrons for your support!
