Dimensionality: 3-D
Attack Potency: Wall level (Has a bite force of 2980 psi[2], or 581.8085993 kilojoules)
Durability: Wall level
Striking Strength: Wall Class
Lifting Strength: Class 1 (They have been known to overpower cows, who weigh over 700 kg)
Travel Speed: Regular Human on land (An alligator can run up to 11 mph on land[3]), Athletic Human while swimming (Alligators can swim up to 20 miles per hour[4]), Superhuman in short bursts (Alligators are capable of short bursts of speed up to 30 milers per hour[5])

Other
Standard Tactics: American Alligators normally wait in water for thier pray to get close to them and lunge to bite them.
Weaknesses:
- Their snouts and eyes are very sensitive.
- Their gag reflex can be stimulated to let go of their prey.
- Exothermic body leads to a low metabolism, and therefore makes its energy get depleted fast.

- ↑ American alligators were once threatened by extinction, but after being placed on the endangered species list in 1967, their population increased. This species is now classified as least concern. The main threat to these reptiles today is habitat loss caused by wetland drainage and development.
- ↑ How hard do alligators and crocodiles bite?
The answer is a bite force value of 3,700 pounds for a 17-foot saltwater crocodile (as well as tooth pressures of 350,000 pounds per square inch). That's the highest bite force ever recorded — beating a 2,980-pound value for a 13-foot wild American alligator Erickson's lab measured in 2005. - ↑
How fast can an alligator run on land?
Most experts believe that the average alligator can run up to 11 mph (18 kilometres) on dry land for a brief amount of time. However, due to their weight, they run in a zigzag motion that slows them down and tires them out pretty quickly. - ↑
How fast can alligators swim?
An alligator can swim up to 20 miles (32 kilometres) per hour - ↑ Alligators don’t really like to run long distances, and although they can travel very quickly in the water, they are typically slower moving on land. However, even with their heavy bodies and slow metabolisms, alligators are capable of short bursts of speed that can exceed 30 miles per hour. This speed is typically seen when an alligator is lunging after prey on the bank of the water, not running across a large area of land.
