Learning & Fun Facts For Kids

  1. Clear Goggle Eyelids: Alligators possess a transparent third eyelid, known as a nictitating membrane, that slides across the eye like built-in swim goggles to protect vision while swimming underwater.
  2. Nest Temperature Mystery: The temperature inside a mound of rotting plant material built by a mother alligator determines the sex of the hatchlings: cooler temperatures yield females, while warmer temperatures produce males.
  3. Mud Hibernation Holes: During freezing winter cold snaps, alligators survive in shallow swamps by digging out submerged mud tunnels and sticking only their nostrils above the iced surface to breathe.
