This week we decided that it was time to start moving the big bull gators back to the exhibition pond that had snuck over to "date" during breeding season. So we were in the process of capturing one of the big ones when we heard rustling in the brush---and here comes "momma" gator-rushing us...we were caught off guard! It is a little early for eggs to be in the nests. But to our surprise we collected 43 beautifully banded alligator eggs. What a way to start our day. Boy she's a feisty Momma gator.
