There has been similar events in the past, the weaker ones die and the survivors make the species stronger.

Reptiles can enter "brumation" with cold temps, which is like a hibernation. They may still move around and drink, but their metabolism is slowed down significantly.

Don't they usually fall asleep underwater with only their snout sticking out of the ice?

[–] HulkSmashBurgers@reddthat.com 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Perfect time to boop the 'gator snout.

Never have I ever seen a snoot that doesn't get booped

[–] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That does happen but I don't believe they are intentionally doing that. I think they just slow down and keep their nose out the water to breathe and the water freezes around them or they break through the ice to breathe and the water refreezes.

Well yeah. They fall asleep like that as the temperatures drop. Then the ice forms around their snout.
