In this episode, the mystery of how an orchestra gets an alligator fired up and flirty. Back in the 1940's, an orchestral fundraiser at the American Museum of Natural History in New York, caused a stir. As the orchestra hit a particularly low note some live exhibits, American alligators, went crazy. Playing the tuba to a tough crowd of reptiles at a gator farm creates the same effect and it's not long before these grizzly gators perform an amazing, hissing water dance.
