Answer 2

Alligators eat a wide variety of foods including insects, crabs, crayfish, fish, frogs, snails, turtles, snakes, coots, grebes, wading birds, raccoons, otters, deer, and other alligators. Alligators are also known to eat dead animals. Although alligators are carnivorous, they are occasionally seen uprooting vegetation. Evidently they do not eat the plant material, and may be catching crayfish, snails, and insects living in the mud at the bases of the plants. Alligators feed most often when temperatures are between 73-90°F (20-23°C).
If prey is small, it may be swallowed whole. Otherwise the gator will bite down on it repeatedly. Using a combination of sharp teeth and tremendously strong jaw muscles, it breaks bones or shells so the whole item can be swallowed. Large prey may also be shaken vigorously and slapped against the water or shore to rip off swallowing-sized pieces.

Alligators role underwater with very large prey, submerging the victim and drowning it. The dead prey is dragged around or guarded for several days until the meat rots enough to be ripped apart.

Alligators are cold-blooded, which means that their body temperatures fluctuate in response to the temperature of their surroundings. An advantage of being cold-blooded is that little energy needs to be spent in maintaining a high body temperature, and therefore less food is needed. A healthy alligator can go many months without food. Alligators can survive in water temperatures as cold as 36°F (2°C) and as warm as 98°F (38°C), however they function best within a relatively narrow range of temperatures

Answer 3

i think the octopus will die from not being in salt water before the alligators get the chance

Cat thinks you should make sure alligaters aren't hungry; feed them spelling nazis - then octopussessessess will be safe! Peeple who don't get Dragonese lessons shouldn't talk around those who does. Cat is getting seriously annoyed here!

Answer 5

I think so and they eat dragons too so stay away from the moat and doggies yummy

Answer 6

Not if you bribe them with cheetos. Alligators can't resist cheetos, so when you feed them, give them cheetos and tell them that you will always give them cheetos if they don't hurt the octopusses.......

Octopi (PLURAL SPELLING) don't live in the same enviroment as alligators. They live in the sea, really deep down. Alligators live in swamps. So I really have no idea if alligators would eat them. They might if they were hungry. I dunno...
