_MG_3517 Mating Call
The gator bellows while raising and lowering the body in and out of the water.
The low frquency bellow will vibrate the water so that it leaps into the air around the gator's torso.
Bellowing is observed during the mating season, as a territorial statement and as a threat if one ventures too close to momma gator's little ones
