## Caption

Under the water with an alligator 🐊 
 
Alligators swim almost fully submerged, except for their eyes and ears, allowing them to keep on the lookout for prey and, importantly, come up for air. They cannot breathe underwater, but some have been known to hold their breath for up to 24 hours!
