The dormant period runs from October to March for American alligators. They dig "gator holes" close to frequented waterways and take cold-weather naps. The tunnels can be quite lengthy, sometimes 50 or more feet. Once the gator moves out, other animals make use of the burrows the alligators so thoughtfully provided.
