Yes, alligators can be seen at our Richardson Bay Audubon Center & Sanctuary. Alligator Lizards (genus Elgaria), to be precise. A beautiful, medium-sized lizard native to the area, it eats small invertebrates, other lizards and small mammals. These lizards are typically found in urban and highly populated areas. A funny fact is that they will poop in self-defense if threatened or handled.
