I remember as a child going to this park and riding in a glass bottom boat and the bottom of the swamp area in that particular area was silver color and all the fish were beautiful. A long time ago... so much has changed since then, but I still have the memory:-)

It appears the pythons are winning they are having a hard time finding any wildlife now except for pythons!!!

ViciousBeagle2466, people get exotic pets then let them go in the Everglades when they cant handle them anymore also...
tapdancintiger
ZealousJelly5831, the glass bottom boats are still there,along with the mermaids Silver Springs,Fl. also that is where the first tarzan movies were filmed

i grew up hunting and fishing in the Everglades from 1960 thru 1975. it was an amazing site. not anymore. We camped 12 feet above ground on a plywood platform in sleeping bags while we built the camp. you couldn't sleep due to the sound of mosquitoes. you could hear panthers at night. we got to the camp by swampbuggy for 1.5 hours and air boat for over an hour. depending on the season you used one first then the other. I'm grateful for these memories

The love of money is why EVERYTHING was destroyed in the Evergllades!!!! PPL tried to get rid of the glades by try to make dry land. Ask the Seminole Indians about it.

Player #559997, ya when one of the hurricanes came thru (not sure which one) destroyed the tin sheds people selling them used to store them in, and now some say up to 40% ofthe reptile population is non indigenous to Florida

I did not realize just how much this park protects! I knew it had a ton of different species, but I just didn't realize how vital it was to so many.

Apparently, it’s not the everyday pet owner here. This happened during one of Floridas tropical storms years ago when a python breeder was faced with what to do with his snakes when he was forced to vacate his store.
You can read about this online.

Everglades is about four hours from my house. Alligators, panthers, snakes, birds.
Andre
I did an air boat ride there and saw some alligators in the water, and they came up to boat, but they didn't hurt anyone it was a very fun ride. I did it in August of 2006.
Chris
Our son and daughter in law were National Park Rangers in the Everglades. I’ll never forget walking the boardwalk under a full moon while hearing the alligators splashing about beneath us.

I actually lived there in the 70's. Went to school in Everglades City, which is still a real cute little fishing town. It's unlike any other place around. It's a wondetful place to experience, especially if you love and respect nature!
Chel
tapdancintiger, there are no known troop of monkeys in North America except in Florida and those are there because when they stopped filming Tarzan they left the monkeys behind. As far as I know the monkeys are still there.
mamma
tapdancintiger, we love Silver Springs. It's so beautiful. Love to sit and watch the monkeys play
mamma
MALICE, that is part of it yes. But do to hurricane damage some wildlife parks also lost invasive species. It's very sad the Everglades never had crocodiles and do now. native animals being killed
