Alligator hailensis, is a large, extinct species of Alligator, known from the early Pleistocene of Florida. It is named after the town of Haile, Florida where it was found by J.B. Stout. Its age and skeletal morphology is intermediate between the geologically older Alligator mefferdi and the modern American Alligator, making it a transitional fossil.[1][2]
