Welcome to the alligator bro club! In certain reptiles like crocodilians, the sex of hatchlings isn't determined by chromosomes but by the temperature of the nest during incubation! That specific 31.7-34.5°C range? That's the sweet spot that produces male alligators! Too cold? Females. Too hot? Also females. Mother Nature basically said "Y chromosomes? Pfft, I'll just use a thermometer instead!" Global warming is literally changing the gender ratio of entire species—talk about hot guys becoming an endangered species! 🔥🦎
