  When it gets cold in Florida these guys start falling out of trees and appear dead. Then like magic when it warms up they are revived and back to normal

  I’m unironically curious if a bunch of them are going to die after the snow in Florida

    Gators as a species have existed for hundreds of millions of years, predating even some of the stars in the sky. They should be alright.

      Yeah, I wasn’t too worried about the species as a whole lol. Moreso curious if there are enough warm spaces for the local population experiencing crazy weather in Florida, I don’t have a great understanding of cold blooded animals

    There has been similar events in the past, the weaker ones die and the survivors make the species stronger.

    Reptiles can enter “brumation” with cold temps, which is like a hibernation. They may still move around and drink, but their metabolism is slowed down significantly.

      Don’t they usually fall asleep underwater with only their snout sticking out of the ice?

    These pals outlived actual dinosaurs, they’re gonna be mostly fine, their species will definitely survive, no doubt

    They can probably manage just fine for a day or two of cold. It takes a long time for the ground and water to change temperatures.
