maybe it putts the water at the front of it's mouth and swallows the food first and then spits the water out.
They have a special flap that closes off the airway when they swallow.
alligators can't breath under water. they have lungs. so yes they do come out of the water when its cold. it's just common scene.
Yes, alligators have lungs and breathe air just like you do. They CAN hold their breath for a long time while they are under water, though!
No, when alligators go under water, they are holding their breath.
They have all organs like we do. Eyes, heart, lungs, stomach etc.
The alligator gar can "sort of" breathe air. It is a fish, complete with gills, but is a primitive one. It's gills don't work very well out of water, but it can survive for several hours in air. A link can be found below.
Yes, alligators construct dens for shelter. They often dig burrows in the banks of water bodies where they can hide and rest. Alligators use these dens to regulate their body temperature and protect themselves from predators.
They have 3 sets of eyelids to help them see under water without hurting their eyes. They also have a flap in their throat so they can open their mouth under water and eat food without getting water in their throat. Last, they have flaps on their nostrils that help them go under water and not get water in their nose.
Under
The diaphragm
Some reptiles can breath under water e.g. turtles, alligators and snakes plus much more. actually they can't... they can just hold there breath very long! unless you see gills on them, if you watch animal planet it says they have strong lungs.
Yes, under their gill flaps. Their lungs aren't called lungs but gills which filter the oxygen in the water.Hope this helps!
