  1. These are the new guardians of the border.

  2. Trump's fault yup that's MSNBC narrative

  3. the fact that they can hibernate is how they survived the mass extinction from the asteroid impact

  4. Try keeping them in their natural environments instead of pets

  5. Poor animals. keep em safe

  6. Alligators didnโ€™t figure it out, theyโ€™ve been doing for millions of years to survive, crocodiles can not do the same thing they will die from extreme cold

  7. This is not happening in the Rio Grande, I don't know why the media wants to say something like this when so many are crossing the river in panic and risk of drowning.

  8. This is what we need in the Rio Grande River.

  9. Hearing "boop the snoot" from official NBC is wild. But I can't say I disagree… ๐Ÿ˜€

  10. tells you why the outlived the dinosaurs

  11. I'm not sure I'm really tempted to boop the snoot, but it's good to know that if I succumb to such a temptation, I might have a minute to get away.

  12. Jesus saves you going to delete that too NBC

  13. Idk why but I want to play wack a mole with that snout ๐Ÿ˜…. I donโ€™t think the odds are in my favor though

  14. Crocs and alligators have existed for hundreds of millions of years. They've seen an extreme weather event or two. They outlived the dinosaurs and they'll outlive humans, as well.

  15. heart warming ๐Ÿฅฐ

  16. Are…are they just now finding this out about alligators or what?

  17. Adapt? More like evolved over millions of years.

  18. Why is anyone surprised. The survive the meteor asteroid that extinguished most of every animals . A little ice is just a walk in the park for them .๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

  19. lol. Dumb Texans. This isn't anything new…they've done this forever. hahahahahaha.

  20. I hate every single one of those animals but thank you for keeping those things safe.

  21. Alligators: This is fine we're used to this. ๐Ÿ˜„
    Crocs and snakes: We hate it! We like it warm and toasty! ๐Ÿ˜ 

  22. They talk about this every year.
