A swamp park in North Carolina posted a video showing how alligators freeze themselves in place to survive conditions too cold to function.

The video shows how these reptiles don’t fight the cold, they stick their snouts out of a swamp at just the right moment, and let the water freeze around them, letting their bodies freeze into the swamp ice.
