How many Florida panthers exist in the wild?
The panther population is estimated at just over 100 cats within the state. Big Cypress National Preserve is home to approximately 30 - 35 of those cats. Discover more about panthers by clicking here.
What is the difference between an American alligator and an American crocodile?
Both are large reptilians that can be found in south Florida, the only place in the world where the animals coexist. Primarily alligators are found in freshwater habitats and crocodiles in coastal estuaries (they are better at expelling salt from the water).
