American alligator seen at Barataria Preserve
s were observed five times between August 22 and 30, including at Barataria Preserve in Marrero, Louisiana, confirming continued presence across this wetland landscape. Gulf Coast Toads are most active during the breeding season in early to mid spring and can be observed year-round in certain areas, and alligators, as apex predators in these same wetlands, remain active year-round as water conditions permit.1
