Yes, Alligators do have a tegmentum it seems! albeit less developed than a human mesencephalon, the alligator midbrain (mesencephalon) has more developed optic tecta instead. However in invertebrates, the tegmentum is the floor of the midbrain. i discovered a report on alligators in lake griffin which specifically referred to the tegmentum. heres the link .. www.jwildlifedis.org/cgi/content/full/44/2/280
