Yes, if it gets stuck under water for longer than it can hold its breath (generally 20-30 minutes) then it most definitely will drown. An alligator can hold its breath for a little over an hour if conditions are ideal, but it is not a fish, and cannot live under water. It has to breath.

Who would win a fight a crocodile or a bull moose?
A crocodile and a bull moose would never meet in the wild, but even if they did fight, either may win. A saltwater crocodile would beat a bull moose in water because of its 2000 pounded weight, sharp tough skin, and enormous size with the jaws. If they fought on land, the bull moose could trample the saltwater crocodile to death, but the saltwater crocodile might be too heavy and too big for the bull moose to kill. Even though the bull moose on the rut can kill a grizzly bear or a brown bear, the saltwater crocodile could drag an alive polar bear to the water and drown it! Saltwater crocodiles are like the strongest creatures on land and water!
