A: Alligator

Alligator Fun Facts:
-Spanish sailors visiting the New World called them el lagarto which means, "the lizard." English sailors took the name as "allagarter" and over time it became alligator.

-An alligator cannot move its tongue, and must raise its head to swallow.

-Alligators have a translucent third eyelid to protect their eyes so they can see underwater.
