2024 Brumation period is over. Alligator brumation is a hibernation-like state that alligators enter during colder months when they become less active and enter a low metabolic state. During brumation, alligators will shut down and go dormant to conserve energy, but they will still wake up and drink. They will also tilt their heads up slightly out of the frozen water so they can breathe, and they can hold their breath for up to 24 hours. Alligators also close their eyelids for protection.

First sighting of the season. Air temperature is rising, and the gators are coming out of brummation. Alligators do not hibernate, they brummate. Once the air temperatures drop consistently below 55F, they react to this cold environment by slowing their metabolic activity. So, they have not eaten since the fall of 2022. As they warm their bodies, their metabolism rate increases, and they will begin eating.
