National Parks Exploration Series: The Everglades — A Subtropical Paradise

There is no place on the planet like the Everglades. Florida's Everglades are thoroughly unique, standing as they do at the intersection of two biomes: the temperate mid-latitude that comprises most of the continental U.S., and the tropical. Plants and animals from each coalesce in the Everglades to produce a sub-tropical tapestry of ecosystems that is unmatched anywhere in the world.
