Question

Alligators live in swamps. They are able to lie so still that the look like floating logs in the

water. How does this adaptation help the alligator survive?

Answer 1

Modern alligators have many adaptations to make them well suited for their wetland environment. These plates are extremely thick and well adapted for their environment. Their skin camouflages very well with their environment and along with the bulging eyes this makes them look like a log!
