When the weather dips to freezing or below, many people express concern about our own local wildlife. A lot of wildlife tend to go dormant and hide from the wind and elements as best as they can. Very few mammals hibernate in Texas because of our mild climate. Reptiles like alligators and turtles do not hibernate but they do go into a lethargic state called brumation. Mamma Alligators will dig holes like this one did in August to help regulate their temperature in the heat and in the colder months. Photos by Tyson Vodochodsky
