The Rule of Saint Benedict (Latin: Regula Benedicti) is a book of precepts written by Benedict of Nursia (c. 480 â 550 AD) for monks living communally under the authority of an abbot. The spirit of Saint Benedict's Rule is summed up in the motto of the Benedictine Confederation: pax (peace) and the traditional ora et labora (pray and work).
Many alligators feed on various animals such as turtles, amphibians, fish, birds, invertebrates, snakes, and mammals in their life cycle. The young alligators are known to consume snails, spiders, worms, insects, and larvae. The size of the prey increases with the size of American alligator.
Categorized as Reptiles. Alligators are carnivorous reptiles who spend most of their time in the rivers of America and China. They hunt within and on the banks of these rivers and sometimes ponds or lakes. Baby alligators are very small and can only hunt worms, shrimp and tiny fish. Later, they grow to be over 1000 pounds and eat razorback boars, black bears, panthers and deer that they ambush from the water. Alligators lay in wait just below the surface of the water for an unsuspecting victim to come by for a drink.
