DRAINING THE SWAMP...

Alligators freeze in NC swamp with noses above ice

Re frozen alligator:

Do they hibernate that way or die?

People are likely thinking that these critters are as good as dead.

I don’t think so. There are plenty of cases where reptiles and fish have been frozen nearly solid and then thawed, warmed up, and went about their way.

I’m guessing the temps in the Carolinas aren’t nearly low enough to kill these guys off. Sweet opportunity to clean up for those with tags though.
