Alligators don't usually eat fish, they eat small animals that come to drink from the water's edge. They lay mostly or totally submerged in the water near the edge and wait for an animal to get close. Once the animal is close enough, the alligator charges out of the water, grabs the animal before it can flee, and drags it under to drown and eat it.

Alligators will take anything from birds to deer as prey items. Fish are not a staple part of their diets. Their hunting technique is a big part of why people get bitten by alligators and crocodiles. The water looks safe, but it sure isn't!
