Blow up a 260 3/4 of the way.

leave 4 or five inch bubble then do 2 ear twists (these are the eyes)

make a 3-4 inch "s" fold and twist in the middle (this forms the front legs)

make a 3-4 inch "s" fold and twist in the middle (this makes the back legs)

Keep everything flat and you now have an aligator or a crocodile or an
iguana!
