In this story a woman shoots an alligator several times and it only bleeds a little.    What'd she use a .25 Raven?

If you're blasting gators in your house, you should use the proper weapon.

Alligators are extraordinarily tough and have a very small brain tucked behind some serious skull bones.  Unless you blast many large holes in them or pull of a brain shot (very unlikely), they tend to not react much to being shot.

I have personally seen even small gators take several shots and just sink out of sight only to appear days later a bit bloodied, but quite alive and well.
