Gators are carnivores. They will eat anything alive or dead that is meat. Keep your dogs away from the water in gator country.

Now if you are talking the Florida Gators athletic teams, then check out the food pyramid. That is what they eat.

Unlike a water moccasin or a snapping turtle, and contrary to the movie "Alligator," this reptile is incapable of opening its mouth underwater without drowning, so fish are out of the alligator's natural diet. This contributor lived in Florida for almost 40 years, and he has known them to eat ducks and dogs.

  • If the alligator is a pet, it will probably eat any kind of meat, but watch your hand when you feed it because the alligator does not know the difference, and it may bite the hand which feeds it accidentally. Alligators seem to prefer their meat ripened, but they will take it fresh if they are hungry. As reptiles are cold-blooded, they will go many days without eating and do not become hungry every day as warmblooded animals do.

Alligators eat a variety of foods: small mammals, turtles, fish.

They will, if given the opportunity, take down something like a small bear occasionally.
