GOOD QUESTION! You always want to keep an eye out for her.



This was the gator guarding the nursery last year. I did not see any large ones Saturday when I took the long hike back there......

Nice pics. Count me out on trying to figure out where momma is. I'll be in the truck.

From what I understand Gators are breeding in the wild just fine... so why the need for a nursery?

Hope this answers your question.....

These are pictures of wild alligators. The nursery was formed when the cow brought her hatchlings to the water. She is watching over them.
I did not mean to infer that anyone was raising alligators.
