Wildlife of central Florida
I'm currently on vacation in central Florida and spending my days diving in freshwater caves. Diving is such a good way to get into nature. Here are some of the animals we've seen.
A pelican hanging around near a dive shop. |
This giant Eastern lubber grasshopper (Romalea guttata) was hanging out in the front yard of the house we're renting. He was about the size of my index finger - HUGE. |
This little cutie liked to hang around the parking lot at a dive site. |
Snails like this live in the pond above the Eagle's Nest cave. I identified this one as Viviparus georgianus. Snails in the genus Viviparus give birth to live young - crazy! |
This snail was chilling in the middle of the road as we pulled away from Eagle's Nest. |
Yes, that is an alligator. Yes, it was at a dive site. No, we did not get in the water. |
