🐊 Did you know? Alligators are ectothermic!

Alligators rely on the sun, air, and water around them to regulate their body temperature. ☀️🌡️

Here’s how they stay comfortable in Florida’s changing seasons:
• Most active between 82–92°F
• Stop feeding below 70°F
• Become dormant when temperatures drop under 55°F
• Spend much of winter in burrows near water, emerging on warm days to bask

Florida is home to an estimated 1.3 million alligators, and Central Florida’s lakes and wetlands provide critical habitat for these iconic reptiles. 🌿💧

At SJRWMD, protecting healthy wetlands and water resources helps ensure alligators—and countless other species—can continue to thrive in their natural environment.
