Do alligators feel pain?

Yes, alligators do feel pain, possessing nerves and sensory organs that detect pressure and damage, even though their pain response might seem different from humans due to their reptilian physiology and higher tolerance, with recent studies even showing certain pain medications (analgesics) can reduce their reactions to painful stimuli. While they're not as outwardly expressive as mammals, they experience nociception (detection of harmful stimuli) and respond to it, leading experts to advise treating them as if they feel pain.

What animal has the most pain tolerance?

There isn't one single animal with the "highest" pain tolerance, but naked mole-rats are famous for insensitivity to certain pain (acid, inflammation) due to unique nerve-chemical differences, while grasshopper mice can actually turn scorpion venom into painkillers; many prey animals like cattle also display high pain tolerance through stoic behavior to hide weakness, though their internal pain experience isn't fully known.

Our social norms and clothing also necessitate hygiene that wild animals don't worry about.

Effective alligator deterrence focuses on removing attractants (food, habitat), creating physical barriers like electric or sturdy fences, using motion-activated lights, and educating people on safety, as no chemical repellents are reliably proven to work; professionals should be called for removal. While some claim success with urine/ammonia sprays or floating alligator head decoys, these are less reliable than physical exclusion, which is the best way to keep them out of yards or pools.
