For example, one way alligators adapt to their habitat is that they camouflage in the water to stay away from predators. Another way they adapt is that when they swim they use their tail. In addition, the most interesting fact I learned is that they use their heavy tails to make wide, shallow holes called gator pits. If you see an American alligator don’t just run away, look and see all the adaptations the American alligator has.

The American alligator has many ways to adapt to its habitat.  For example,one way alligators adapt to their habitat is that they camouflage inthe water to stay away from predators.  Another way they adapt is thatwhen they swim they use their tail.  In addition, the most interesting factI learned is that they use their heavy tails to make wide, shallowholes called gator pits.  If you see an American alligator don’t just

run away, look and see all the adaptations the American alligator has.
