How is the alligator adapted to its environment?

Answer 1

Answer 3

Alligators are adapted to their environments through their thick, armored skin that protects them from predators and their sharp teeth for hunting prey.

Additionally, their ability to regulate their body temperature helps them thrive in both water and land habitats.
