    Alligators are reptiles that lay eggs which take 9 weeks to hatch. They are carnivores with powerful jaws and sharp teeth for catching prey, and can live up to 60 years while growing to almost 20 feet long. Alligators spend half their time in water with only their eyes and nostrils above the surface, and are cold-blooded animals that control their temperature by moving to warmer or cooler areas.
