The video shows a trick adopted by crocodiles to stay alive in frozen waters.
A video showing an odd-shaped hump protruding from a frozen swamp is gaining traction on social media. It actually is an exposed snout of an alligator locked in ice and unable to move. The clip is from The Swamp Park in North Carolina, in the United States, which is home to an alligator preserve in Ocean Isle Beach. The clip has been shared on Twitter by Tansu Yegan and shows a man digging the alligator out of the frozen swamp. Alligators survive in frozen swamps by sticking their noses through the ice to breathe. Reptiles shut down their metabolism, and they don't need to eat their heart rate slows down, their digestive system slows down, and they just sit and wait for the heat. pic.twitter.com/YAQiSwlOAc
