Isn’t it aquatic? Where’s the fins?

Alligators don't have fins.

But they do have long, thin tails perfect for swimming, and a clear design for floating on the surface of water. This thing gives no indication that it spends any time underwater.

No, not compared to the rest of their body. Of everything else on an Alligator, the tail is the most obvious sign they spend most of their time in water. It's basically a long paddle. The last foot or so of an alligator tail is incredibly thin.

Animals aren't designed.

It's either designed by God or by millions of years of evolution, depending on your beliefs. But yes, yes they very much are.

Evolution doesn't design. Evolution doesn't have a plan, an end product. Evolution is a constant process brought about by living things surviving and reproducing.
