I inhabit the warm waters of the Yangtze River in China and the Southeastern United States. Preferring to bask in the sunlight on muddy riverbanks, I thrive in warmer climates as a cold-blooded reptile. My unique adaptations include a special body part for digging burrows during winter. As a carnivore, my diet consists of fish, birds, snakes, turtles, and even alligator eggs. Join me in exploring my habitat and understanding my needs as a captivating creature of the wetland ecosystem.

I live in the Yangtze River of China and the Southeastern states of the United States. I do not like cold weather. • I have a special body part that helps me dig burrows in winter. • I am a carnivore so I eat fish, birds, snakes, turtles, and alligator eggs. • I spend most of the day lying in the sun on muddy river banks because I am cold-blooded and need the heat of the sun to keep warm.
