Summarize this article for a 10 year old
Alligator meat is the meat from alligators that is for consumption.[1][2] It has been used both historically and in contemporary times in various cuisines of the Southern United States. Alligator eggs can also be consumed. Alligator meat is high in protein and low in fat, and has a mild flavor and firm texture.
In the United States, outside of a short legal hunting season in some states, it can only be legally sourced from alligator farms. Farmed gator meat is available for consumer purchase in specialty food stores, some grocery stores, and can also be mail ordered.[3][4] Some U.S. companies process and market alligator meat derived only from the tail of alligators.[4] It can also be made into pet food.
