Alligators breathe with lungs as air breathing animals. They do not have gills and have to surface to get air.
The same way that you or I do. Reptiles cannot live without air but some are adapted to live in the water and they do not need to breathe as often as you or I. Also, reptiles have a much slower metabolism and that further reduces their oxygen needs.
Alligators have lungs and breathe air. They can hold their breath for long periods of time, but will eventually surface to get some air.
