Stuffed Alligator Toys & Alligator Facts
If given a choice between a plush teddy bear and stuffed alligator toys
, you might be surprised when a child opts for the stuffed alligator toy over the iconic teddy. Why you ask? When it comes to all things scary, children have a curiosity and fascination with what we know better to stay far away from. Being a kid and having no fear is all part of, well, being a kid!According to researchers, they way in which an alligator breaths, is what likely gave it the edge over all the ancestors of mammals 250 million years ago, when the mass extinction of dinosaurs took place during what is referred to as the Permian period. Alligators have one-way airflow which makes them far more efficient breathers than mammals.
This new study on alligators, involved special devices designed to measure airflow. The end result in all cases was the discovery that the lungs of an alligator works much the same way a birds does. While alligators don't have air sacs like birds do, researchers believe that the airway that can be found on either side of an alligators trachea, functions in the same way. Air is stored and then passed into their lungs the next time they exhale. The air flows in and out of an alligators lungs at different points and allows them to maintain constant one way airflow through their lungs which, when compared to mammals, allows them to extract two-and-a-half times more oxygen per breath.
Given the very low oxygen levels that existed during the early Triassic period (which was after the Permian period), archosaurs like alligators and birds, would have been able to endure intense exercise compared to mammals.
Of course, stuffed alligator toys will never have to worry about taking their next breathe or even outliving mammals. Stuffed alligator toys will, however, require as much love and attention as would be given to any other soft toy.
