These reptiles are pivotal to their ecosystems, often creating 'gator holes' that provide habitats for other wildlife during dry seasons. Typically, female alligators are attentive parents, guarding their nests aggressively before the eggs hatch and continuing to protect their young for up to a year or more. This image not only celebrates the beauty and resilience of alligators but serves as a metaphor for the city of Houston itself, known for its dynamic growth and deep-rooted connection to the natural landscape.
