Volume up! This is the sound male alligators make to attract a mate... 🐊 [VID: How do male alligators attract a mate? To attract a mate, male alligators vibrate their larynx to let out deep growls. Low-frequency sounds, inaudible to human hearing, make the water dance and can be heard over a mile away. Once a male successfully attracts a female, the mating can last for days before the couple goes their separate ways.] | Nature | PBS

🐊Springtime courtship in action!🐊 Albert & Nancy have been showing classic alligator courtship behavior, with Albert performing a bellowing display to attract Nancy as a mate. Female alligators (cows) prefer males (bulls) that are larger than them, and bellowing is a key way for males to show off their size — the deeper the bellow, the bigger the alligator!💪 This is a natural part of the breeding season, so keep an eye (and an ear!) out for more fascinating behaviors from our alligator pair!�
