Description
This guy was too busy warming up to bother with me. It was a chilly winter day in Florida. I got within fifteen feet and sat down for an eye level view. The side vision of alligators seems to poor.In the late 1800’s this land was used as open range for cattle grazing by the settlers moving into the Christmas area following the Seminole Wars. In the early 1900’s many of the red cedar trees were logged with this durable wood being used for furniture, construction and fence posts. Pine trees were tapped for turpentine and later were logged for lumber. In the 1940’s the land was used as a dairy farm. Wetlands Park is the world's first large-scale, man-made wetland created to filter pollutants from reclaimed water. A dazzling array of plants and wildlife, peacefully co-existing together, creating a "mini-everglades." Wetlands Park is in Christmas, Florida.
