Bellowing is typically associated with the arrival of spring and the warmer months. Considering that alligators are native to the southern region, seeing one bellow during a snowstorm is an uncommon and delightful sight. #alligator #gator #snow #coloradogators #foryoupage

Alligator eating in snow

When the temperature drops, alligators stop eating as they require warmer temperatures to digest their food. Because of the warm, geothermal water, the alligators at Colorado Gators are still active and hungry even when it is snowing. #alligator #snow #feeding #coloradogators #foryoupa

Active winter alligator

It can be a shock to some people to see alligators in the snow. It is even more of a shock to see them so active. Alligators are cold-blooded, meaning that they rely on external sources for body heat. This also means that when it gets cold, they slow down, stop eating, and even will enter a dormant
