They are a top level predator. An alligator's only natural predator is man and a larger gator. However, because they actually don't eat a whole lot for their size they are not generally scientifically credited with decimating other animal populations though they have been accused by fur trappers and such for doing so. Their major affect on the ecosystem is by their digging and creating wallows and holes in the marsh. This can create an edge effect which helps with biodiversity.
