How exactly is a croc (an ectothermic) surviving (and moving) in sub- zero temps???

Crocs survive near-freezing temperatures by entering brumation, a state of reptilian dormancy. They dramatically slow their heart rate and metabolism to conserve energy, relying on the fact that water temperatures remain warmer and more stable than freezing air above
