Please double check non-realistic and sur-realistic dimensions in your post . . .

You may consult Wikipedia about dimensions of alligators. 

    Alligators are not whales . . . 

    They are different creations . . .


Had the alligators have such length,  as it is stated in your post,  they would need trains to move on the ground surface . . .
