I kid you not. Falcons kicker Matt Bryant “has learned to mimic the distress call of an alligator.” Bryant has said that he has “had fun with it,” and he can actually practice it quite a bit – he lives in Florida, where reptiles are very abundant.
The retention pond behind his house in Tampa was the testing ground. Bryant’s wife noticed a small alligator, so he made the noise. The creature started to follow Bryant’s wife. When Bryant had her stop, the alligator continued toward the noise.
However, there have also been some scary moments…
While golfing in Cancun, Bryant asked members of his group if they wanted to see a trick after hearing something splash in the nearby mangroves. He made the call, and all surrounding noise immediately ceased. The very large head of a saltwater crocodile emerged from the water. He stopped, and they quickly moved on.
