The Florida Everglades are one of the most unique and captivating ecosystems in the United States. The source of fresh water for nearly 8 million people (the population of Manhattan during the workday), its also the only Tropical ecosystem in the lower 48. It's home to Bears, Panthers, rare Orchids, as well as being the only place in the world where Alligators and Crocodiles live side by side. Take a look below at what I saw on this trip.
