Abstract
Strange attractors can exhibit bifurcations just as periodic orbits in these attractors can exhibit bifurcations. We describe two classes of large-scale bifurcations that strange attractors can undergo. For each we provide a mechanism. These bifurcations are illustrated in a simple class of three-dimensional dynamical systems that contains the Lorenz system.
