Can a crocodile drown?

Yes, if it gets stuck under water for longer than it can hold its breath (generally 20-30 minutes) then it most definitely will drown. An alligator can hold its breath for a little over an hour if conditions are ideal, but it is not a fish, and cannot live under water. It has to breath.

How does a reptile get its oxygen?

Crocodiles and alligators breathe in the water by raising their head and snout above the waters surface. Since they do not have gills, they have to hold their breath underwater. When hunting, only their eyes and snout are visible, making them look like a piece of driftwood.

Alligators usually sneak up on their prey, catch them offguard, drown them and swallow them whole above water as they can not swallow underwater. Their jaws are not designed for tearing and ripping flesh (like crocodiles), but instead for crushing bone.


How are alligator's adapted to seeing under water?

Alligators have clear eyelids that act like goggles underwater to protect their eyes and help them see clearly. They also have specialized eyes with a tapetum lucidum behind the retina that enhances their vision in low light conditions, such as underwater. Additionally, their eyes are located on top of their heads, allowing them to stay submerged while still being able to see above the water's surface.

How do dugongs breathe?

Through special nostrils. The nostrils of a dugong are closed when submerged in water, and since a dugong is a mammal, it cannot breathe oxygen from inside the water. When they want to breathe, they push their nostrils above the water surface, when they're underwater, nostrils are shut to prevent water from entering.

The andacondas special features?

Special AdaptationsThe Anaconda has eyes high on its head so that it can stay camouflaged underwater while watching and waiting for its prey. Its nostrils are positioned there as well, so that it can breathe easily while almost completely underwater. Another form of camouflage is the Anaconda's color pattern of dull green with black spots. This blends in with the dense vegetation of its habitat and also with the murky water that Anacondas love.
