SEA TURTLE WALKS

Every summer our South Florida beaches are draped with bright colored tape and signs to show where these sea turtles have buried their eggs.

Big Bass often keen on frogs, lizards, birds, mice, snakes and more. Artificial water snakes are common throughout South Florida, slithering across lily pads.
