They have an impressive wide variety of native animals from eagles to panthers, crocodiles, foxes, snakes, eagles, otters, bears, etc. All of the animals are either being treated to be released or rescued and permanently in residence. The staff is incredibly well informed and eager to share their knowledge. They even shared where the animals came from and how they were being taken care of. One staff member was substitute mom for possum babies which she took home with her at night for feedings.
For the next stop in the Florida town of Jupiter we headed to the beach and stopped at Blowing Rocks, an environmental preserve on a barrier island made out of limestone. The perfect spot to relax, watch waves and get sprayed. When I first arrived it was a bit stormy which made for fun, lots of spraying as the waves crashed forcefully into the limestone.
I literally spent the rest of the afternoon watching the waves and clicking away with my camera. It was a family friendly relaxing day trip.
