On April 2, 1863, the Union's first submarine, USS Alligator, was lost off the coast of Cape Hatteras. Building began on it in 1861 and was propelled by 16 hand powered paddles, but was retrofitted in 1862 with a hand cranked propeller. It's intended purpose was to counter the threat of posed to wooden hulled blockaders. It was being towed by USS Sumpter towards South Carolina when bad weather hit off the the coast of North Carolina. The captain of the Sumpter ultimately decided to cut Alligator adrift in order to save his own ship. Alligator sank soon after, and has yet to be found. #history #waiv #somee #sme #pob #cine

Feeding our baby Albino Alligator on the Go ????????

I got my Alligator a new enclosure

Alligators survive frozen lakes by slowing their metabolism and leaving their snouts out to continue breathing. This technique is called 'icing' and part of brumation which is similar to hibernation but with awareness.

The mating call of an alligator. The vibrations you see radiating in the water are faraday waves produced by vibrating their lungs at low frequencies and the scutes on their back. This communicates his desire for company some distance through the water.

Had a great day with a special #SoMeeOne and we saw an #alligator in the water.
