How do we know spring has arrived? The Louisiana Swamp alligators have started bellowing! 🐊 Though done year-round, bellowing is more common during mating season. It’s thought to attract mates and declare territory. Our lagoon alligators don’t eat from around November to April while they’re in a state of “torpor” similar to hibernation. 📹: Animal Care Staffer Bryan | Audubon Zoo

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

SOUND ON 🔉 Have you heard an alligator bellow? Alligators bellow year round, but typically more often during breeding season (April-June). Alligators also may bellow to communicate size to each other. While both males and females bellow, males can reach a lower frequency, which causes the water to “dance” on their backs, like you can see here! #snappythursday | Ellen Trout Zoo

Ever heard an alligator bellow? Although alligators have no vocal cords, males bellow loudly to communicate their size to mates and warn off other males by sucking air into their lungs and blowing it out in intermittent, deep-toned roars. 🎥: Suzanne, Retail & Food Service Supervisor | Chehaw Park & Zoo

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

Have you ever heard an alligator bellow? Here is a quick video of Alvin and Aly bellowing. While we have 2 males, both male and female alligators bellow to communicate with other gators for mating, territory and to establish dominance. The deep frequency can signal the size of an alligator to others to help prevent altercations with larger individuals. The weather has been a little weird this year so our boys have access to their winter building and may choose to be inside or outside for the tim

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"
