We have seen American Alligator many times in zoo or wild. We could only see their eyes and upper part of jaw which were above water level. The other part of alligator body was hidden in muddy water. On 1st September 2008, we were invited by Sue to visit the North Carolina Museum of Life and Science in Durham. The alligators there were in clear water and therefore we were able to see the whole alligator bodies. It was amazing to witness alligators staying still for at least 10 minutes. In fact, they can hold their posture for hours. While we watched them in the museum, they did not even blink their eyes. Alligators wait without moving until their prey wanders close. Then, they attack and have meal.
