  • A fiery sunset colors the sky above several slash pine trees (Pinus elliotti) in the Pinelands of the Florida Everglades. Pine trees cannot survive if submerged for extended periods, and therefore grow only at the highest elevations in the Everglades – only a few feet higher than the lowest points. Slash pine trees are specially adapted to survive fires, however, which destroy invasive species.

  • The sun rises over the Florida Everglades, known as the "river of grass." The Everglades is actually a river - a slow-moving river that's 50 miles wide and averages only six inches deep.

  • Only the eye and the snout of an American alligator (Alligator mississippiensis) rise above the waters of a large pond in the Florida Everglades. Their nostrils are at the top of their snout, allowing them to breathe while virtually their entire body is under water.

  • An American alligator (Alligator mississippiensis) swims along the surface of the water in the Florida Everglades. American alligators are found in the southeast United States. Florida and Louisiana each have alligator populations of greater than one million.
