Read previewAlligators have been spotted seemingly frozen in ice during a cold snap in Texas — but they aren't dead. A video that has gone viral on TikTok shows one of these motionless alligators almost completely submerged under ice. The alligator in the video is in a state of brumation, which is a type of hibernation in reptiles. "The ice will insulate the water, so it'll keep the water a lot warmer than the air," said Handhart. AdvertisementAs well as Texas, several alligators were found frozen inside "giant ice cubes" at the Swamp Park, near Ocean Isle Beach, North Carolina, LiveScience reported.

The recent blast of cold weather has given alligators a chance to show off their way of coping with freezing temperatures. By Tuesday, temperatures had risen and Howard said the alligators had returned to normal. Gator Country in Beaumont, Texas, posted a video last week featuring an alligator there with its snout poked out of the ice. He has pushed his snout up through so he can get oxygen and he can breathe,” owner Gary Saurage said. That’s how alligators survive in the ice.”
