Wildlife Field Guide

Meet the Locals (They Bite.)

American Alligator
Florida’s original bouncer. Found lounging near fences and chewing on trespasser shoes.

Burmese Python (Invasive, but committed.)
Once pets. Now apex predators. The Everglades’ unofficial immigration officers.

American Crocodile
Rarer, meaner, and less impressed with your tourist hat.

Florida Panther
Endangered. Elusive. Occasionally judges you from the tree line.

Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake
Fast. Venomous. Loves tall grass and irony.

Poisonwood Tree
Because even the trees here want to deport you.

Mosquitoes
TSA agents with wings. Please present your passport and 0.8 liters of blood.
