Approximately 18-19" in length This scaly boy is a remnant of an age lon Probably the most defining feature of the American alligator is its gigantic jaws. Not only are they massive, but the power behind them is incredible. They can slam shut their toothy mouth with about 2,000 pounds of force—easily enough to crack bone. Once a gator gets its prey in its mouth, it’s pretty much game over. Oddly enough, the evolution of this incredible bite force is a one-way street. While closing their jaws is powerful, opening them is surprisingly weak. They don’t have strong muscles for opening, ed gators raised for food, not taken from the wild.
