Terrestrial Animals Of The Everglades

Over 40 species of Mammals call the Everglades home. One of the most common mammals in the Everglades is the Wild hog, commonly referred to as a boar. If you see one of these hogs on a trail, the best idea is to stay away. For the most part, wild hogs are shy and skittish, but they can, and likely will attack if provoked.

Alongside the wild hog, the Everglades is full of foxes, deer, and even Bobcats. Of course, The Florida Panther can also be spotted in the Everglades, though they are endangered and incredibly rare. Beneath the water, you can find the West Indian Manatee – more commonly known as the Sea Cow.
