Yes, they're beautiful creatures- unfortunately some of them get cut up by boat propellers. My second ever foreign wildlife trip was to Florida + it was amazing. We did boat trips from Fort Myers + saw the Manatees + Bottle-nosed Dolphins, while some Magnificent Frigatebirds sat on the Red Mangrove Trees.

Though not as many bird species as Texas, California + others, it's all so tame- various herons + waders feeding within feet. The dragonflies + butterflies were awesome. Alligators were great- just remember to run in a zig-zag if one chases you!
