Alligators are cold blooded. They dislike both high and low temperature extremes. They go into the water because the water will be cooler than the hot outside air on hot days, and warmer then the cold air on cold days. Water takes a length of time to 'catch-up' to the air temperature above it so it has a moderating effect for the alligator.

Why don't alligators live Alaska?

Alligators are cold blooded reptiles. They would freeze to death in Alaska. Alaska is a very cold place during the winter. There aren't many animals that can live in Alaska. You need a thick coat of fur or have a lot of blubber, or have the ability to hibernate during the winter. The alligator has none of these survival abilities.
