Best Answer

Alligators make their dens and nests along the wet banks of swampy rivers, bayous, and lakes. Most are just accumulations of dead plants and trees. Alligators do not usually require shelter.

When the female alligator lays her eggs, she builds a nest on dry land and surrounds it with decaying plant material, which raises the temperature around the eggs to between 30° and 35° C (86° to 94° F). A warmer nest will produce a majority of male offspring, a cooler one will yield more females.
