Best Answer

Alligators (and crocodiles) are 'ambush 'predators'. Basically - they lie in wait submerged in a river, waiting for prey to come within striking distance. They then lunge at the prey animal, and drag it into deeper water to drown it. They grab hold of a part of the animal, and roll rapidly - this tears off chunks of the animal's flesh - which is swallowed without chewing.

How does an alligator breed their babies when they are born?

An alligator does not feed its babies. As soon as a baby alligator hatches, it must start looking for its own food. As long as it looks for food in the vicinity of the mother, the mother will eat anything that tries to eat her baby but other that that, the baby is on its own.
