Probably a good thing. Hopefully the cold takes out more invasive species.

whoa! i just saw what you're talking about and it looks crazy! crazy cool survival skills it's no wonder they've been around for so long.
Alligators and their cousins have been around for nearly 200 million years and recent footage of their amazing survival skills suggests they may be on Earth for 200 million more.
As temperatures plunged across the country late last week, gators in the upper reaches of their range faced the question of what to do when floating is your forte but your swampy digs are about to freeze.
UPDATE: the alligators have thawed and they're grumpy!!!

“These alligators (were) obviously in the ice the other day,” Howard says, while trying to hold the alligator down. “We just want to make sure he’s good to go. He’s fighting me, so I know he’s doing good. You hear him hissing? Wow. He’s not real happy with me.”
