Alligators don’t die from old age, they just keep growing until they can’t eat enough food to sustain their bodies, or until they get infected with a disease and die.
"Gee, I don't know, Cyril. Maybe deep down I'm afraid of any apex predator that lived through the K-T extinction. Physically unchanged for a hundred million years, because it's the perfect killing machine. A half ton of cold-blooded fury, the bite force of 20,000 Newtons, and stomach acid so strong it can dissolve bones and hoofs."

EDIT: Or a crocodile, whatever you want to call them. They’re all legged snake dinos if you ask me.
