Alligators are basically carnivores, but they eat more than just meat, feeding on anything from sticks to fishing lures to aluminum cans. Mostly, they consume fish, turtles, snakes, and small mammals. When they are young they feed on insects, snails, and small fish. (Britton, 1999; Levy, 1991). Alligators hunt primarily in the water at night, snapping up small prey and swallowing it whole.
Some applications require specialized precision cleavers that are designed to cleave specific fiber sizes. These high-cost precision cleavers are the solution for applications where the highest quality fiber endface and lowest optical loss is required, such as component assembly or high strength splicing applications.
Coagulation - procoagulants. The third step, coagulation or blood clotting, reinforces the platelet plug with fibrin threads that act as a molecular glue for the aggregated platelets. The resulting blood clot (fibrin mesh) is quite effective in sealing larger breaks in a blood vessel. Blood is transformed from a liquid to a gel in a multistep process that involves a series of substances called clotting factors, or procoagulants.
