Smaller alligators can run 25mph for short distances, whereas the larger alligators tend to "belly run" at 7mph. It is not true that Alligators can run at speeds up to 25 mph. This old belief has been dispelled many times but still seems to be accepted even by folks who should know better. Some say alligators can jump 30ft out of the water, this is also, however, poppycock. E-nature is a very reliable source and I provide their link as only one of many that can dispel this legend. Top speeds are in the 8-12 mph range and that is usually for alligators in the 4-7 ft. range. The speed of all crocodiles is very misleading as a lot of their exaggerated speed estimations come from the fact that they seem to move a lot faster because they are seen sliding off of banks into the water and have the advantage of gravity to help with the illusion of traveling a lot faster than they can.
