Alligators are no longer just a Southern legend for Fort Worth—researchers have confirmed they’re nesting and raising babies right here in our wetlands. Crews at the Nature Center are out in force this week, tracking down nests and tagging gators to learn more about their health and movement. It’s wild to think that just a few years ago, hardly anyone believed gators lived in North Texas! Now, they’re a sign of healthy wetlands. Would you feel differently about hiking these trails knowing gators are nearby? Share your thoughts or gator stories below! #Science #FortWorth #Alligators
