The Everglades are a special place because of the unique ecosystem there, sawgrass swamp with interspersed forests like islands. Many landmark species dwell there, including the Florida panther ( a race of the mountain lion, endangered), alligator, black bear, white tailed deer, the limpkin, great white heron, bald eagle, osprey and many others. Because of its warm semitropical climate, the area unfortunately is now home to many invasive species, either deliberately or accidentaly released by humans.

Some are beautiful, fairly harmless species like the rose ringed parakeet, while others, like the Burmese and rock pythons, are dangerous, and may impact the region in a negative way. Few predators feed on adult pythons, with the exception of alligators, bear, and panther. All of these species have been documented as killing pythons, but the region is becoming overrun with these snakes, and humans are desparately trying to eliminate them.
