According to an article in 𝘚𝘤𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 by Jake Beuhler published 1 Feb 2019: "The stones—which were only about 2.5% of the alligators' body weight—seemed to make a significant difference, increasing dive time by an average of 88% and up to 35 minutes" Not to bad for a dinosaur, eh?

Do alligators have tongues? And what the heck is that thing sticking out? Alligators have always fascinated me. OK, who am I kidding...all wildlife fascinates me 😁 But gators are their own kind of cool! Check out this side view of a big ol' swamp puppy yawn. In the first segment you can see the tongue briefly come up into view. Yes, gators have a tongue but it is attached and it doesn't move like ours does.
