The last week or so I have been watching the locals (Alligators) and some of their odd behavior.

First, it’s May. Usually the height of gator friskiness. A male Alligator is not subtle, no soft music and flowers. In general they are not deep thinkers. Start a fight, dive under water, see what happens.

However look at the header photo, or the first image below. I think he’s whispering sweet nothings !

These photos were taken is a smaller marsh retaining pond. There were probably  a dozen males and females right there. Not a single argument, no deep growling warnings.

Instead we had synchronized swimming.

The pair above even looked pretty comfortable with each other.

Note; there’s still nothing cuddly about them.
