me: “The entrance of my hometown has a shrimp boat sitting in the main street. At Christmas theres a shrimper Santa and alligators pulling him instead of reindeer.”
Alligators bellow in infrasound to attract mates and declare territory. The sound causes a sprinkling of waves around their backs, called a “water dance.”
And now we know where the makers of Jurassic Park got their T-Rex sounds.
During thunderstorms at my previous zoo, our large male would mistake the thunder as a rival male, and start to bellow. It would shake the whole zoo. Super cool!
