Alligator Mating Season

It's alligator mating season and there's lot of bellowing going on. The sound can be heard long way off and it is of such low (quoted from online)frequency that it makes the water dance over the gator's back. This “water dance” is the result of such low frequency vibrations that they are undetectable by the human ear, and the vibration then moves up into the throat to produce the audible roar. Females bellow or roar too, but they don't have the infrasonic ability to produce that deep deep sound. (Last paragraph is quoted from online source)
