Florida Alligator
Officially known as the American alligator (Alligator mississippiensis), the Florida alligator is a large, semi-aquatic reptile native to the southeastern United States. It is Florida’s official state reptile. Alligators are a vital keystone species that play a crucial role in maintaining wetland ecosystems.
Florida Barred Owl
The Florida barred owl (Strix varia georgica) is a permanent, native resident subspecies of the common barred owl. Known for its expressive brown eyes and horizontal brown-and-white “bars” across its chest, it is best recognized by its loud, echoing hooting call that sounds exactly like, “Who cooks for you? Who cooks for you-all?”
Florida Armadillo
Florida armadillos are nine-banded armadillos (Dasypus novemcinctus), which are small, armored mammals that are common, non-native pests in Florida, often causing damage to lawns through digging. They are about the size of a cat, mostly active at night and possess a unique defensive, leaping behavior. They can carry diseases like leprosy.
