One of the most astounding things about the Everglades is the ecosystem, this it is a beautiful wilderness environment with a wide range of rare and endangered species. There are beautiful natural opportunities for those interested in seeing the wildlife. There are dolphins, bald eagles, and crocodiles living in this beautiful area.
