4. Adaptations
● Camouflage hide. Skin is covered with bumps to look like vegetation on water.
Skin color helps to blend in with environment.
● Semi-transparent membranes which cover their eyes when submerging under
water. That feature helps them see better.
● Alligators are capable of submerging underwater for several hours. Their
heart rate will slow down and blood will be directed to critical areas of their
body.
● Webbed toes for living in the water.
● Eyes and nostrils placed on top of the head to stay almost submerged and still
be able to see and breath well.
