A pair of alligators in Elm Lake at Brazos Bend State Park. The larger one (top) is bellowing at the other, and I have no idea why.
The larger one is about ten feet (3 m) long. At that size, it is almost certainly a male. If the other is female, he may have been showing off and trying to mate with her, though it would surprise me that they'd do that this late in the year.
