Hot Pursuit
I'm not certain because there's no obvious visible difference between male and female alligators, but I believe the trailing gator in this photo is a male in pursuit of a female in front of him. The reason I believe that is that April is mating season for alligators, and the trailing one followed the other for a good distance before the one in the lead growled, made a left turn, and submerged. The trailing gator turned right and went its own way. The lead gator eventually surfaced, and there was no further interaction.
