The yearly body temperature of alligators with body length 116.83 32.26 cm ( n = 183)was 18.81 8.08 , malewas 20. 81 9.69 ( n = 42) and female was 17. 81 8.56 ( n = 69) , respectiveley. The body temperature of alligator in the active period from April to November was 25.54 5.24 ( n = 89) , while thewater temperature was 25. 42 5. 20 ( n = 89) . No significant differencewas found between body temperature and water temperature ( P 0. 05) . In hibernating period ( December to March of next year) , the body temperature of Alligators was 10. 78 1.90 ( n = 94) and the ground surface temperature at the hibernation point was 10. 64 1. 74 ( n = 94) . No significant difference was recorded betweentheir body temperature and ground surface temperature ( P 0. 05) . The results indicated that the body temperature of Chinese Alligators was significantly influenced by the envir
