Our trip to Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary was quite interesting. I had no idea there was a park in Florida that had so many trees and land! We arrived around 1:00 pm and were introduced to the water filter system the sanctuary had which was quite interesting. We were then split into two groups and ventured off to walk the sanctuary's boardwalk.
As we began to walk I saw more and more vegetation till we arrived at an area-like savanna clearing a truly beautiful scenery. As we continued our journey we came into contact with different wildlife and species of trees. We continually saw many kinds of spiders and insects of which thankfully bit no one. The day was scorching hot but under the canopy of trees you could feel a cool breeze which helped throughout the walk.
We then stumbled upon an area where there once was a lake and it had dried up due to low rainfall. There were lots of vultures present waiting patiently as the fish that were once residents of the lake slowly died. You could see how the fish, the vultures, the crocodiles, and even a turtle interacted with each other. The best part was when the crocodile went and bit the turtle but due to the hard shell of the turtle it was able to escape the jaws of the crocodile.
