It's both fascinating and disgusting that an alligator uses it's lungs to move and uses it's lungs weight to make it turn. What I don't understand is why alligators don't make ripples when they use their lungs and muscles.
this is really cool. I mean, changing the location of your lungs just to roll over? That's just awesome. Nathan, the reason why they don't make ripples is because they don't need to put so much effort and unnecessary movement into...well...movement.
I think that is so cool. I wish i was able to control where my lungs would move. Don't you all agree that i would be helpful to human to do what these gators can do? There could be a new sport invented called underwater wrestling if humans were able to control their lungs.
For those interested about crocodiles in general, there is another fun article on the same website. If you search under crocodiles, the third article from the top talks about how the crocodile heart actually helps it digest large bony meals!

That is very strange that the alligator can move their lungs.
