What do alligator eats?

Answer 1

Alligators eat fish, birds, and mammals, and really just about any animals they can catch.

The alligators' food changes with age. The young feed on insects and on freshwater shrimp. As they grow older they eat frogs, snakes and fish. Mature adults live mainly on turtles, water birds and fish but will catch muskrats, otters and small mammals that go down to the water's edge to drink. Very large alligators may occasionally pull large mammals such as deer or cows down into the water and drown them.
