The slow, watery mazes of the Florida Everglades are quiet, filled only with the soft shush of reeds and tall grasses blowing in the breeze. But if you look closely, you will discover that this mysterious swamp is actually teeming with life. Over the water, a barred owl hoots into the wind while a massive great egret swoops down on brilliant snowy wings. Down below, hiding in the soft shadows of the wetland, an entire secret world is thriving. Rare Florida panthers creep silently through the brush, beautiful orchids bloom in the damp air, and red-bellied turtles glide beneath the surface. Keep your eyes peeled for clever raccoons, singing frogs, and giant alligators lurking just out of sight in the muddy depths. Journey into the heart of the largest subtropical wilderness in North America and uncover the magic of this fragile ecosystem. This breathtaking adventure reveals the fascinating secrets of the endangered animals and incredible plants that survive perfectly balanced over and under the wild waters of the wetland.
