The American Crocodile
The American Crocodileby Susan LaBella
American crocodiles are long, scaly reptiles. They live in watery areas known as wetlands. In the United States, this kind of crocodile lives in the Everglades. That is a swampy section in the state of Florida.
The Everglades is an ecosystem. An ecosystem is a place where living things, like animals and plants, exist with nonliving things, such as water and soil. Any change to an ecosystem may affect all the wildlife that live in it.
In 1975, the American crocodile was listed as an endangered animal. Endangered animals are close to disappearing forever. One reason why the American crocodiles were in danger was that people were moving into the reptiles' ecosystem. People built homes and businesses on Everglades land. That made it harder for the crocodiles to find food and lay eggs.
People who were worried about the crocodiles and other wildlife in the Everglades worked to pass laws to protect the ecosystem. Today, there is good news. Scientists say there are more than a thousand American crocodiles living in southern Florida. The laws are helping the crocodiles survive.

The Liberty Bel l
The Liberty Bell is an American symbol that represents American freedom from England. The Liberty Bell is located in Pennsylvania. On July 8, 1776, the Liberty Bell changed the world. It rang out from the tower of Independence Hall. It was used to summon the American citizens to hear the reading of the Declaration of Independence, a document that said America is free from England. The Liberty Bell is famous for its large crack. People don’t know when the crack first appeared on the bell. The crack got worse over time and people didn’t want the bell to break apart. In order to preserve it, it was decided that the Liberty Bell should never again be used. The bell hasn’t been rung since Washington’s birthday in 1842.
A large crack in the bell keeps it from being rung ever again.
The Liberty Bell was rung every Fourth of July and during state celebrations until 1835.
