A moat could possibly have alligators or sharks depending on the type of water.
Take your moat to be freshwater; it could possibly have alligators or bull sharks, probably it has nothing bigger than a carp.
However take your moat to be saltwater; there is a much larger variety of sharks that could inhabit it (bull sharks included again) but no alligators. I don't know of any saltwater moats, but they probably have nothing bigger than a goby. If the case is that you are considering swimming in a moat, do not hesitate. But watch out for boats.
Yes they did . (:
No, however most moats were filled with spikes under the water so if anybody would try to cross it, they would fail.
Alligators do not fight sharks.
no, the climate in Europe was not warm enough to support alligators even if alligators were placed in the moat they would not survive.
No. Alligators live in fresh water, sharks live in salt water.
Some people that alligators and crocodiles were kept in moats. This what people would envision when they were told a castle was surrounded by a moat.

There is a myth that alligators or crocodiles were placed in the moats. This is not true. Some moats did have eels and other kinds of fish in them for food. Sometimes, sharpened sticks (bungy sticks) were placed in the moat to prevent attackers from safely entering it. Burning liquids may also have been poured in the moats, but references to this are not proven.
