"Chilling Encounter: Frozen Alligators Found in North Carolina"

The Swamp Park in eastern North Carolina recently posted pictures and a video of frozen alligators, as the rescued gators went into a state of brumation, a form of hibernation for alligators, to survive and protect themselves in the extreme cold by tilting their noses above water to breathe and suspending themselves in the water with closed eyes. This isn't the first time this has happened, with similar occurrences reported in 2019 and 2018.
