Shy and elusive, the bobcat prefers woody or grassy areas, but can be sometimes be seen along deserted roads at dawn and dusk hunting for small rodents. Named for their short or "bobbed" tail, they are about twice the size of house cats and sport razor sharp teeth and claws. If you're wild about cats you'll be fascinated by these beautiful felines.
See them year-round at Marco Island, an official Bald Eagle sanctuary, or nesting at Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge. They mate for life, building huge nests in the tops of large trees near rivers, lakes, marshes or other wetland areas. The southern variety favors feathering its nest in Florida - we support more breeding bald eagles than any other state. Bald EagleĪ national symbol since 1782, this true American bird is the only eagle unique to North America. You can get up close and personal on an organized dolphin watching cruise or dolphin swim program at an aquarium, or see them at parks and sanctuaries from Northwest Florida to the Everglades. Dolphins are routinely spotted from our shores year 'round. They wear a perpetual smile and playfully frolic alongside fast moving boats. Myakka River State Park in Sarasota is an armadillo family favorite and a good place to see the identical quadruplets that make up each litter.ĭolphins are warm blooded, air-breathing mammals with communication skills and social style. In summer, they are most active during the cool of the evening, and in winter, during the warmest part of the day. Because they lack the protection of a fur coat, they prefer temperate weather and burrow in extreme cold or heat. Armadillos look like tiny dinosaurs, and thousands of years ago stood 3-1/2 feet tall and weighed about 600 pounds. If at night you hear a sound like an elephant crushing palmetto fronds underfoot, chances are it's a five-pound armadillo. Breeding season is March through October. This rare prehistoric animal lives in the upper Keys at Key Largo's Crocodile Lake National Wildlife Refuge and in the Everglades, the only American crocodile habitat remaining in the U.S. Crocodiles inhabit salt or brackish water, unlike alligators, which prefer fresh water. American CrocodileĬrocs have narrower snouts than alligators, grow slightly larger and shy from human contact. They are dormant and least likely to be seen in cool, winter months. They are most abundant during May, the peak of mating season. Alligators can be safely sighted at many of our parks and wildlife refuges, including Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge (east of Titusville on Florida's east coast) and Myakka River State Park (in Sarasota on the Gulf side of the state). This official state reptile averages six to twelve feet in length and can sprint with blurring speed.
