Alligators use sexual reproduction, and then the female lays leathery eggs in a ground nest.

Aligators reproduce by laying eggs (up to 45 in a clutch) and burying them under a mound of earth or rotting vegetation. The female protects the eggs for up to 84 days (depending on the temperature) until they hatch, when she will dig them out of the nest and carry them to the nearest water. Often, the young will stay in a close group, called a pod, and the mother will continue to protect them for up to two years.
