These alligators have one or more notches cut out of the tail scutes and two metal tags in the webbing between the toes usually on the back feet.

Reporting information from tagged alligators is important—this information allows biologists to follow the movement, growth, and survival of alligators and informs management for continued harvests.
Note that sometimes the tag is lost as the alligator grows, but the information from the tail notch still lets biologists know what year the alligator was marked.
