The tall green grass and the slow-moving river that makes up the Florida Everglades have landed it on the UNESCO World Heritage Danger List . . . again! The wetlands are home to 800 different species of land and water animals, including more than 350 species of birds. Tourists can view wildlife in action on boat or canoe tours.
However, the Floridian destination is in jeopardy due to increased urban development and pollution, causing a loss of marine species. The Everglades were removed from from the Danger List in 2007 and environmentalists hope its return is once again just temporary. But just in case you want to get up close and personal with some extraordinary wildlife, say, "See ya later, Alligator," to your home, and in a while, you'll see a crocodile!
