Are alligators known to become that old?

Most of them die as hatchlings, but if they reach adulthood, they tend to live 35-50 years in the wild.

The oldest living alligator in captivity has been in a zoo for 84 years, but was an adult when they got him so he's at least 3 or 4 years older than that.

When it comes to crocs, some of them do seem to live a long time. https://youtu.be/hSsEoi1f9Qw?t=156
