An alligator was found completely frozen in a lake - with its nose poking out through the ice to breathe. <br /><br />Video filmed amid a snap of extreme cold in the United States shows an alligator hibernating with its nose breaching a frozen lake. <br /><br />The alligator currently resides at Gator Country, a wildlife and adventure park in Beaumont, Texas. <br /><br />According to Gary Saurage, the owner of Gator Country, the alligator is breathing through the hole and has slowed its heartbeat to only three beats per minute to survive.<br /><br />He said: "Right down here we can see the whole entire body of the alligator, but most importantly look at its snout. <br /><br />"It has pushed its snout up through so it can get oxygen so it can breathe - that animal is in full hibernation"
