Florida’s Wonderful Wildlife Past & Present at REI Winter Park

About this event

Stretching back millions of years, Florida has always had a greater diversity of animals, birds, and plants. Did you know that rhinoceroses, elephants, and lions used to roam here? Today, its flora and fauna are more diverse than in any other part of North America. Because it stretches from temperate to sub-tropical climates, it has scores of different habitats which attract this wide range of wildlife. Come and explore this wonderful diversity with us and learn more about it. For instance, why are almost all Florida black bear cubs born on February 28?
