Alligator facts

Alligators are known as opportunistic feeders, so they'll eat just about anything they can overpower. Their diet consists mainly of snakes, rough fish, turtles, and birds.
Crocodile tears are a real thing. Both alligators and crocodiles shed genuine tears, but only to clean and moisturize their eyes – not because they're sad.
