Alligators Lose Their Appetite
The American Alligator is often portayed as an extremely active and aggressive eating machine, when in truth this is not the case. Even during the most active period of the season, the average alligator on Kiawah Island eats only 1 – 2 pounds of food each week. Beginning in late October, when the cold-blooded alligators can no longer keep their body temperatures above 70° F, they stop eating completely and will not eat again until spring.
