Alligator Territorial bellows

[DICKIEMONSTER]

tiss cool

[zoperkophotography]

This is a mating call. It is in no way territorial.

[snook201]

@zoperkophotography It is both you might want to do some research. The calls that morning were statred when a 12+ male lifted his head and slamed it down on the surface of the water to prove he was the biggest in the pond. The raising up and puffing themselves up is to make themselves look bigger. 1 to attract the female. 2 To try and scare off othere males. Plus this video was taken nowhere near mating season.

[zoperkophotography]

@snook201 Well i guess all the years i have spent around alligators don't mean anything. Clearly you are an alligator expert, my apologies.

[snook201]

@zoperkophotography Like i said do some research. You will find out that it is known that it is for mating and also belived as a territory display as well. And for some odd reason they will do it before a major change in the temperature alligators are still a some what mysterious creature that do have a certian social structure that has yet been explained.

[zoperkophotography]

@snook201 You're the expert 

[Bulldogbabe852]

feed justin beiber to them!!!!

[NoobTwinz5]

@nonotyoubob Is it possible for someone to be as stupid as you? What could possibly give you the idea that this video us fake?

[snook201]

@NoobTwinz5 I was never answered back. I guess they figured out that its not and had no basis.

[TheSBDroid2]

awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww they're soooo cute ♥

[BloodyPainfulDeath]

man I'd love to see this for myself one day...

[akirajam1]

Heavy metal!



[SHOJMPR42]

That is the exact sound they make, and if you observe them, it usually is a signal that they are about to kill something in their way. It is the sound of males fighting for mates and dominance, generally only heard during the springtime. The ones that make that sound will come at you if you get within about 20 M.

[CrimsonRaptor7]

It sounds like a dinosaur!!

[quj0r]

@CrimsonRaptor7 Like... birds? ;)

[Psykogundam]

its a mating call

[mfb99]

Great! I think I will be showing this to my herpetology students.

[nonotyoubob]

Dang this is fake but looks amazing!

[snook201]

@nonotyoubob Ok and why do you think that this is fake?

[snook201]

@snook201 So I have given you a few days to tell give me rason on why my video is fake, but you have not responded. This tells me that you have no basis for your comment, that would be because it's not fake. Next time you wanna call something it's not you need to check your compass and go the other way. I'm glad you like my video but please don't call it a fake when it's not.

[MNRick041]

Not going swimming there today are we.

[XDinoStephX]

DAYM!!!!! Hahahahahaha

[Zooguy2]

Nice video. Both of the animals in this video that bellow are males, but you should know that females bellow too.

[haynes1776]

cool. I went to everglades natinal park whne I was a child and I dont remember which part of the park I went to, but we observed alligators from this foot bridge and over to our left, we can see the eyes and snouts of the gators in the water who were looking at us, waiting for lunch. I was careful that I did not trip, afraid that I was going to fall in. Still, it was the first time ive seen alligators up close.Big experience.

[MyReallyShortShow]

sounds like someone ate some really bad food, then pooping in a toilet lol

[DrBPhD]

What an excentric performance!

[stairwaytoheaven22]

[23cranky]

thats a mating call. so is the vibrating... tail in the air is also a sign of matting calls.

[snook201]

it is a display to othere male alligators and the female as well when the bellow they move up and down and puff themselves up to look bigger to try and scare off othere males and atrract females.

[hippocampuszosterae]

fight, assholes!

[ranchdressing]

Hear that? That means "piss off" in their native language. If I heard a bellow, I wouldn't give them a second look. o_o

[Crapzorsbutachin]

They arent performing for you! they are warning you!

[TheGreatCrow]

Alligators are awesome! I've never actually seen, or heard them do this

[TheGreatCrow]

In real life. Forgot to add that

[momowowo16]

THATS SO KOOL!

[WolfyPsycho]

Also Alligators and crocodiles are one of the surviving dinosaurs. Not joking either!

[moctezuma1010]

Sounds just like the T-Rex from Jurassic Park and The Lost World!

[SirEschaton]

More like the T-Rex sounds like them!

[Naoocotzo]

Maybe that's where they got the noise from.

[WolfyPsycho]

That's right! They got the sounds from an alligator! In fact in the movie, the T-Rex's roar sounds is actually a sound of a baby elephant mixed with a tiger and an alligator. And when the T-Rex breathes, it's a sound of a whale's blow.

[fathom1102]

Eeek! A couple of weeks ago I was jogging alone on a trail that circles a big lake in FL and heard this big, deep bellowing noise 3 or 4 times. Creepy as hell!

[jamcrane3]

If you don't know what this sound is and you hear it in the night, it will scare you. I first heard it when I was 7. I grew up in South Florida in a house without AC so I listened to the sounds of the night. Night herons calling, frogs croaking, frogs shrieking when they've been caught by a snake, raccoons fighting, bobcats chasing and killing our cats, alligators bellowing,  crickets, the roar of mosquitos outside the window screen wanting in, cattle mooing and stomping through the brush.

[axelvs94]

Woa holy shit!

[FlyBoy1775]
