This book has all the information you need to find, identify, and learn about Florida's magnificent animal, plant, and sea life.
This book includes: identification, location, and conservation information on the most frequently sighted animals; full-color illustrations of more than 600 of Florida's most common insects, fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, mammals, and plants; information on the underwater animals most snorkelers and divers actually see; photos and information on Florida habitats and on the most common plants you will encounter; and brief descriptions of the region's most frequently visited parks and reserves.
Easy to carry, entertainingly written, beautifully illustrated - you will want to have this book as constant companion on your journey.
