Wildlife Biologist Russ Lowers of InoMedic Health Applications, left, and Dr. Louis Guillette of the Medical University of South Carolina take measurements before removing eggs from an alligator nest at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Kennedy’s Ecological Program studies several facets of alligator health, including nesting. The center shares a boundary with the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge, which encompasses 140,000 acres that provide a habitat for more than 330 species of birds, 31 mammals, 117 fishes, and 65 amphibians and reptiles.
