Florida has some unique species that are so rare that we might not see them in the wild. We are going to keep looking for them in the glades and around but just in case we don’t see them in the wild we checked out the Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park.
The Florida Panther, they are not black like I had somehow pictured.
The Florida black bear, they are black just like one would think.
4 venomous snakes. I prefer the caged ones anyway.
We saw a bunch of more common critters too: flamingos (lovely pink), spoonbills (part of the captive breeding program), manatees, woodstorks, cranes, eagles, many types of owls and Lu…a FL hippo? Well, not exactly native but some sort of honorary Floridian. It was all pretty well done.
