How many alligators are on Earth in 2017?

Estimating the exact number of alligators on Earth in 2017 is challenging, but it is believed that there were around 1.5 million American alligators in the United States alone. This figure primarily reflects populations in states like Florida and Louisiana, where they are most abundant. Globally, including species like the Chinese alligator, the total number could be in the millions, but precise numbers are difficult to determine.
