    I love that as soon as the guy started playing, the alligator thought it was another male alligator and went over to his girl to protect it.

      Birds are dinosaurs and they have much more sophisticated vocals than do crocs. So I think a T-Rex probably had a more sophisticated vocal range than does an American alligator.

    I live about 3 hours from the Everglades, went the first time recently and had a lot of up close encounters with these beauties. The Everglades in my opinion is really hyped up though. Took a drive to a closer reserve in the middle of the state, no gates, fences etc. You're literally one with nature. Walking quietly along the path, gator infested waters on both sides of you; then suddenly hearing this sound just a few feet away. The closest I've ever come to pooping in my pants. Florida is definitely "the outback" of North America!

    • @midgetman4206
      @midgetman4206 2 года назад

      The Everglades has admittedly shrunk a significant amount. It's cool now but just imagine what it was like before, as well as everything in it.

      @@Staurcomb Just because it's the largest doesn't mean it isn't getting smaller. The population is going up very rapidly in Florida. The major cities line the coast, but the outskirts are expanding further outwards (which makes new cities and makes existing ones larger). Total area also isn't the same as effective area. Having a highway cut through, in essence, splits the ecosystem in two. In short, it's more complicated and needs more than a quick glance to get a better picture.

    I wonder if Albert would still roar like a lion if someone brought in a custom made sub woofer and played a 'Bb-1' test tone (14.57 Hz). A similar tone can be found on Bass Mekanik's "Tone Pak". Would Albert believe a monstrous crocodile was in the vicinity -- an adversary he couldn't possible match? How about a 7.28 Hz or 3.64 Hz or 1.82 Hz frequency?

      From the Crocodiles of the World website:
      "Albert, a 20-year-old, male American alligator came to us from another zoological collection and arrived on 25 March 2013. At 3.08 metres (10.1 feet) in length, Albert is ever so slightly longer than Hugo, our male Siamese crocodile. But weighing a formidable 180 kg (397 lbs.), he has a significantly broader and more heavy set build."
