Alligators will eat other alligators on occasion. A mother alligator will generally watch over her brood for a while, once they're in the water, but eventually her instincts tell her it's time to leave. After that...any small animal in the water is potentially food, even her young.

African lions will never contact american alligators since the african lion lives in Africa and the alligator lives in north america.

No, alligators and lions do not inhabit the same area of the world. However, crocodiles have been known to take lions that are in the water.
