...and my, what big teeth you have, Mr. Gator

Alligators have an average of 75 teeth.

 

Their conical-shaped teeth are made for holding onto prey not cutting it. As a result, most alligators swallow their smaller prey whole. (Gulp!). They mostly feed on fish, turtles, mice, muskrats, birds and yes, an unfortunate squirrel or two.
