Many endangered and protected animal species reside in Southwest Florida’s unique landscape including the American<br />
alligator, Florida panther, black bear, West Indian manatee, bottlenose dolphin, burrowing owl, gopher tortoise, and<br />
countless more rare birds. Some of the best places to see these creatures in their native habitats are right here in <strong>Naples</strong>,<br />
<strong>Marco</strong> <strong>Island</strong>, and the Everglades.<br />

Everglades National Park<br />
With over 2,500 square miles of swamp and sawgrass marsh, Everglades<br />
National Park’s unique ecosystem provides a one-of-a-kind habitat for snakes,<br />
alligator, crocodile, wading birds, and more. An airboat tour through this<br />
magnificent area to view its abundant wildlife is not to be missed.<br />
Florida’s state animal is the Florida panther, a subspecies of cougar. This<br />
large, long-tailed, pale brown cat grows to six feet or more and with an<br />
estimated population of 100-180 remaining in Florida; it is one of the most<br />
endangered mammals in the world. Its habitat is usually the same as the<br />
mainstay of its diet, the white-tailed deer and wild boar. When deer and hog<br />
are not available, panthers will eat other small animals such as raccoons or<br />
armadillos. Many of Florida’s remaining panthers live in or near Everglades<br />
National Park and Big Cypress National Preserve. No need to be nervous about<br />
encountering these elusive cats, the closest you’re most likely to get during<br />
your visit is spotting a panther crossing sign – and if you do, slow down and<br />
keep a watchful eye. Since 2014, Florida has had a record number of Florida<br />
panther deaths, the majority due to road collisions.<br />
