Alligators are no longer just a Florida thing—Fort Worth’s wetlands are now home to 70-100 of these apex predators, and their numbers are growing. Researchers are tracking nests and hatchlings across more than 1,000 acres, finding that gators are thriving in North Texas. This isn’t just a cool wildlife story—it’s a sign our local wetlands are healthy, supporting birds, fish, and clean water for everyone. Protecting these habitats helps both wildlife and our community. What do you think about sharing our neighborhoods with alligators? Would you support more wetland conservation? #Science #FortWorth #Wildlife
