"Study Reveals Alligators' Intimidating Ability"

New research reveals that American alligators have the remarkable ability to hear underwater, allowing them to adjust their hearing between land and water by tightening their eardrums. This discovery, along with their underwater vision due to a second set of eyelids, makes sense for a predator known to hunt in various environments. The study, conducted by scientists at Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine, involved dissecting the ears of nine alligators and was published by the American Association for Anatomy.
