Alligators lay eggs in a shallow pit that she covers over. The female usually stays nearby to protect the nest site, until the young hatch out. The chirping of the hatching young will cause her to help to dig them up. Once she guides the young into the water, her responsibilities tend to fade away, leaving the young to hide away from other alligators and predators, until they are large and strong enough to survive on their own.
