This is the first generation "alligator".  It was about 2-3 feet long, it weighed 10-20 pounds, and lived in the swamps of modern day eastern Asia. It ate animals smaller than it. They were around about 250 to 200 million years ago.

These ancestors of alligators averaged about 3 meters in length, and lived anywhere in the northern hemisphere just above the equator. They were also carnivorous. These reptiles were very similar to modern day alligators. They roamed in environments similar to the modern day alligator around 228 to 199 million years ago.

Living from 200 mya to 120 mya, this beast similar in appearance to the Tyrannosaurus Rex, is one of the most ancient relatives of the alligator. Could grow anywhere from 20 to 40 feet long, or 14 tons.

This 40 foot long gator weighed about 15 tons, and lived 110 mya to 100 mya. It has been nicknamed the "super-croc" because of it's pretty much identical resemblance to the current alligator, but it also being twice as long and ten times as heavy.

36 feet long and weighed roughly 10 tens. Oddly enough, it ate plankton and krill despite it huge pelican-like jaw. Living from 100 mya to 95 mya in swampy and hot environments or where ever krill and plankton thrive.

Lived in the rivers of modern day North America. Roughly 33 feet long and 10 tons, with a 6 foot long skull. Fed on fish, shellfish, and various land creatures. Fossils show that it attacked Tyrannosaurs. It lived 80 mya to 70 mya.

Five feet long and 25-50 pounds, ate fish and lived in the rivers of modern day North America and western Europe. Survived the mass extinction 65 mya along with many of its relatives. It lived from 70 mya to 50 mya.

9 feet long and 500 pounds. Had very long legs unlike the modern alligator's short legs. The legs will get smaller over time due to environmental changes. Living from 50 mya to about 1 mya, this reptilian ate anything smaller than it was in the swamplands of southeastern North America.

The average american alligator is between 10-15 feet long and 700 lbs. They evolved into the current gator around 1,000,000 years ago. The majority of these animals are found in the southeastern United States.

# data[].attributes.body
Some evidence to support that these animals are all ancestors of one another is that the embryo in the eggs of all of them are pretty much identical, their body structures are very similar, each one always lived in the same environments, and they are all pretty much strictly carnivorous.
