Yes. Alligators are nocturnal. They do look for food at night. They breed in spring and nest in the summer (more aggressive and apt to attack). During the dry seasons and winters, alligators will create "gator holes" up to 20ft. in depth. These holes will end up filling with water helping the alligator to survive the change in season and temperature.

Alligators are nocturnal. This means they are active at night. They prefer to hunt for prey during the evening hours.

Both - but they're more active during the day, because they need the warnth of the sun to heat their body to a working temperature.
