Clip Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 @SeanbirdsI was told this is a crocodile by other people during a visit to the Everglades. I'm hoping you can confirm and maybe tell me what type crocodile. My first wild crocodile if it is. Sadly, we saw only one snake and it was being eaten by a crow. Hubby didn't stop for photos. He doesn't like snakes. We saw no other lizards except one Alligator. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clip Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 Found this cutie pie at Crandon Park in Miami. I call it the island of misfit toys (think Rudolph the Red nosed Reindeer). Apparently there was a zoo there at one time. When it closed and moved to another location they apparently didn't take everything. So it has a number of non-native species of birds and lizards. I don't know if this rabbit is one of them or something turned loose more recently. This is our 2nd trip to this park and the only time we saw the rabbit. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats on finding it in the US! 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clip Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 Funny face and a manatee with something going on with it's hide. I over heard someone say they thought someone might have tried to skin it. Lordy, I hope that is not the case how cruel would that be. If anyone has any ideas please let me know. This was in the same location as the crocodile above in the Everglades. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every Manatee is precious and must be protected if they are to be kept from going extinct. Maybe a Crocodile attacked it. They can be much more aggressive than Alligators. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was in the same location as the crocodile above in the Everglades. Probably more likely to be injuries from boat propeller, although the long, linear scar oriented along the body axis is a little weird. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That crocodile was only maybe 100ft. away from several manatee. And yes very illegal to harm or harass manatee. Of course, if I ever saw such a thing I'd probably being going to jail to for knee capping the SOB. But, it would be worth it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clip Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 White tailed Deer, Fox Squirrel and Fence Lizard I believe @Seanbirds Loving the blue chin on the lizard. I didn't notice it until looking at the photos at home. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quiscalus quiscula Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 Just the other day, I was going birding when I saw three white-tailed deer on the riverbank through my binoculars. Seeing tons of eastern cottontails. Also, the most numerous animal I see when birding in the summertime is the mosquito! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We get the red ones here in KS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here in Florida the blood suckers are tiny and I rarely see them but they love to bite me. I think I had more mosquito bites here in Florida in our first 6 month of 2 1/2 years, than I did my entire life before in Colorado and I'm on the other side of 60. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not too bad here in New York State, but the best birding places often have a lot of bugs. The birds have to eat something! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
