Everglades means River of Grass |
 |
Mangrove Trees Alligators follow small animals into these trees, become entangled and are unable to save Themselves |
 |
 |
 |
Saw eight or nine of these alligators during our Tour through the Everglades Also saw several large turtles in the Water |
 |
Burmese Pythons tread these waters. Our captain told us that during the last python hunt, a 16 foot snake was killed. The reptiles are taking over the Everglades. They eat rabbits, goats, deer, alligators, birds, etc, etc, etc....basically anything they want. They have no natural predators and are multiplying at an alarming rate.
The problem is believed to have been caused by humans releasing pet snakes into the Everglades when they became to large to own as pets. Want to see some disturbing pictures? ....Google Burmese Python Everglade problems......Scary!!!!!!
Fortunately, we did not see a Python!!!
