Evidence

The City of Fort Worth has a web page describing how the alligators actually got into the lake. They have actually been here for over forty years. On the northern end of Lake Worth, the city of Fort Worth has a nature center that is recognized as a national park. in this national park we have original wildlife from texas, alligators included. The reason alligators come into the lower south end of the lake is due to changing wind and current directions. Alligators like calm warm waters, during windy days they may migrate south temporarely.

The park has 18 tagged( tracked) alligators, but there is an estimated 25 in the sanctuary.
