"Study Reveals Alligators' Intimidating Ability"

New research reveals that alligators have the ability to hear underwater, which is part of their submergence reflex and occurs automatically when they go underwater. This discovery, made by scientists at A.T. Still University’s Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine, shows that alligators can adjust their hearing to land or water by tightening their tympanic membrane. This ability, in addition to their underwater vision and hunting prowess, makes them even more formidable aquatic predators.
