Female alligators normally initiate mating. The slight rise in temperature and increase in water level usually sets off our gators bellowing. The female normally starts first and the male responds. The bellowing can be "felt" more than heard and is similar to the way thunder vibrates. The subsonic sound can make the water jump on their backs.
