Bayou Swamp Tour

We decided to go on a little Cajun swamp tour yesterday. It was really cool. The only problem is that the temperature was 65 degress (it had been below 30 a couple of nights before) when we went out and the tour guide said when the temperature hits 72 degrees the alligators will burrow themselves underwater and hibernate. They live off the fat they've accumulated during the summer months and they get oxygen through their bottom jaw (kind of like gills).
