| Summary |
"The Alligator and Its Allies" by A. M. Reese is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The work provides a detailed examination of the biology, anatomy, and development of the Crocodilia, primarily focusing on the American alligator. It serves as a comprehensive resource for students of zoology, featuring numerous illustrations and systematic classifications. At the start of the book, the author introduces the aim of cataloging significant biological facts about crocodilians, utilizing personal observations alongside existing literature. The first chapter delves into the classification of Crocodilia, noting various opinions among specialists, and begins to outline the anatomy and living conditions of the American alligator. Through a mix of scientific observation and anecdotal evidence, Reese sets a foundation to discuss the behavioral, anatomical, and ecological aspects of alligators and their relatives, foreshadowing deeper exploration in subsequent chapters.
