American Alligators primarily eat aquatic prey, such as crustaceans and fish. They also regularly eat muskrats, raccoons, and nutria. On occasion, they kill deer or feral hogs. Almost any animal that comes within reach of the water can be eaten by alligators.

Is an alligator a predator or prey?

Many people say that alligators are preditors, in some cases that might be true. There are other creatures that feed on alligators, in that way they can be prey. There can't be much of an answer for this but that alligators are both preditor and prey.

We are all both preditor and prey, just like alligators.
