FROM THE ARCHIVE: Our Own Monsters by Sam Anderson On the alligator, and all of our own monsters and fears: The alligators glory days are over. This can happen after two hundred million years. For a long time it seemed like the party would never end. The ancient gator was king of the swamp, and the entire world was swampland. Under the guise of a whole smorgasbord of vicious and prominently fanged relatives (including the ten-ton, bus-length SuperCroc), the alligator not only shared the steamy, leafy old world with dinosaurs, he ate them. He ate the dinosaurs. And his descendants were strong enough to survive whatever catastrophe finished them off.
