The American alligator is a signature critter at Savannah NWR, drawing many visitors to see this mighty reptile in its natural habitat. Alligators carve out open spaces in the marsh (called "gator holes") that become mini-ecosystems and provide homes to many other animals.

We have carved out a nature and book store we call The Gator Hole within the visitor center at Savannah NWR. It has become the home for a carefully selected array of books, clothing, and educational items that will enhance your understanding of the refuges and the plants and animals that inhabit them.
Watch for our on-line store coming soon!
