The Everglades Holiday Park

A detailed Summary of The Everglades Holiday Park

Heading west on Pines Boulevard passing all the new construction and development in the area, saying to myself, this is man made beauty, but I knew it had to stop somewhere and that somewhere was the US 27 road, I then proceeded to head north on US 27 and noticed on the right a small area of Dwarf Cypress that are not protected, and probably won't be around to long.

The Everglades National Park is where you go to see the beauty of nature. When, I first arrived there saw lots of birds, and was shocked to see a peacock walking around like it was nothing. The park itself was so green and healthy; you could even smell a fresher air. The first thing that happened was the airboat ride; there weren't a lot of people aboard, but the captain of the boat was not so well with speaking English and understanding it.

We headed out on the boat through slough that was told it was man-made, and not natural which I was surprised because suited the scenery.

As, we moved along through Anhinga trail, we same upon another alligator, but this one was bigger and hostile, it was about twelve feet-long and around forty years old according to the captain of the airboat. The captain offers this alligator bread and it excepted immediately. The captain mention that the alligator doesn't have any interest humans is too large, and we tend to be too salty. If you still get too close the alligator will have its way you. The alligator is one of the important animals in the Everglades; they have the place in the ecosystem of the everglades. We saw that the alligator was in a hole of some kind made up tress and scrubs (often willow). The hole is probably centuries old and have been maintained by other generation alligators, the holes also serves as a haven for water bird; that I found out.
