Have you ever seen or heard an American alligator bellowing? This sound is an alligator's way of establishing its territory or letting other alligators know that it is ready to mate. Both males and females do this during the breeding season. Hearing the sound can be unforgettable, as was the case for some of this morning's Early Birding Tour participants. Seeing the "water dance" on their backs is pretty cool. Video: Molly Niekamp/Audubon Florida | Audubon's Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary

Hear that sound? That’s called bellowing! Bellowing is a low frequency sound made by crocodilians during mating season to communicate to other crocodilians that can sometimes be heard from miles away! #reptiliazoo #reptilia #zoo #crocodilians #alligator | Reptilia

It's that time of year! 🐊 Why is this alligator growling in the water? Known as bellowing, alligators let out large roars into the water for a couple of reasons - to demonstrate their size and warn any potential competition in the area, or trying to show off their size to attract a mate. By doing this in the water, alligators can send ripples through the entire pond, sending their message more clearly with their nearby "friends." Either way, alligator bellowing begins around the spring and with

Alligator bellowing is one of our favorite sounds! 🔈 Male alligators actually make a subaudible sound beforehand that causes the water to bounce on his back, called the "water dance", which you can clearly see in this video. Bellowing gives information about an alligator's location as well as size. This is helpful for females to find suitable males, usually selecting males that are larger than them. #napleszoo #alligator | Naples Zoo at Caribbean Gardens

Everyone has seen Alligators Bellowing but, has anyone seen Nile Crocodile Jaw Slaps?! This behavior can be connected to many things especially forms of communication. Many scientists believe this behavior is performed more frequently during breeding season probably to call Crocodiles of the opposite sex in & push the opposite sex out of the territory. It is also believed that they perform this behavior outside of breeding season just as a territorial display. What would you do if you saw this?

It’s alligator bellowing season! Though American alligators can be observed bellowing year round, their vocal interactions become much more frequent during breeding season, just around the corner. Both males and females bellow to attract potential mates, and males often bellow to defend territory from each other. This video shows a bull (male) alligator raising his body out of the water to fill his lungs with air. He then lowers his body and lets out a roar. This low frequency sound causes the w

Some of my favorite videos of Florida alligators bellowing to one another. The bull gator has the deeper below as he courts his female lover.

Male and female alligator bellowing! Alligators bellow to convey health and size information to surrounding gators for breeding, social, and territorial reasons. They bellow year round but with much more frequency in the breeding season. The sound emitted directly correlates to the gator’s size. When male alligators bellow, the water over their backs to bounce up, creating a “water dance” as you can see. Sometimes when they hear something like thunder or a heavy bass sound system they will think

St. Augustine Alligator Farm on Instagram: "Torpedo sure has a lot to say to Jim, our Curator of Reptiles 🐊 This deep, guttural growl is called bellowing. A bellow starts as a barely audible low-frequency vibration that quickly transitions into a very audible sound. The power of a bellow reflects an alligator’s size, which they may want to communicate to other alligators for mating or territorial purposes. 🎥 Jim, Curator of Reptiles"
