Ever wonder how an alligator builds a nest? 🐊 Here’s a clip of a mother alligator using her hind legs to pile vegetation and build up her nest. This nest was originally constructed in July, but the process looks the same at the beginning of nest building. Out of the eight nests documented this season, only a couple have survived raccoon predation. The mothers of those surviving nests are doing an excellent job protecting and maintaining them. #FWNatureCenter #WildlifeResearch #Alligators #GoodN

An alligator's monstrous jaws might spell doom, but they make for a comfy nursery for her babies. | National Geographic
