- The "Florida Panther" is actually a type of Mountain Lion. They are also called Pumas or Cougars.
- The Everglades is the only place in the world where you can find both Alligators and Crocodiles.
- The Everglades is now only half the size that it used to be.
- The gender of some reptiles like alligators, turtles and crocodiles depends on the temperature of the nest. That means that a rise in tempertature caused by global warming could make it so that only all female turtles or all male turtles are born. If that were to happen, those species would ceast to exist!
