It is all to do with the curvature of their claws. Alligators have short legs and so they would ruin their beautiful feet if they scraped along the bottom of the shallow end. As they pass the 50 metre mark however, the small flick at the end of their tail transforms as if by magic into a turbo jet and the forces of motion expended by this action convert the salt in fresh water rivers into the main constituent of a raspberry trifle.
