CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – A baby alligator is unaware that the water saturating the ground is the aftermath of thunderstorms in the vicinity of NASA Kennedy Space Center’s Shuttle Landing Facility and that space shuttle Atlantis is unable to land to conclude the STS-125 mission. Alligators can be spotted in the drainage canals and other waters surrounding Kennedy. The center shares a boundary with the Merritt Island Wildlife Nature Refuge, which is a habitat for more than 310 species of birds, 25 mammals, 117 fishes and 65 amphibians and reptiles.
