Alligators are carnivores because their teeth and digestive systems are adapted for consuming meat. Their sharp teeth are ideal for tearing through flesh, and their digestive systems are designed to process and extract nutrients from animal protein efficiently. This diet also provides the necessary energy for their active lifestyle.
