Alligators survive in frozen swamps by sticking their noses through the ice to breathe.

Although alligators may appear to be dead, scientists say they are not. Alligators use this survival technique when the water begins to freeze. Their bodies are almost completely shut down, and all they have to do is 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 heat.
