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.
