| Reptiles (such as various species of snake and anole) and amphibians (such as the American green tree frog, Hyla cinerea), live in the hardwood hammocks. | WIKI |
| Mammal species living in hardwood hammocks include black bears (Ursus americanus floridanus), red foxes (Vulpes vulpes), minks (Neovison vison), marsh rabbits (Sylvilagus palustris), gray foxes (Urocyon cinereoargenteus), white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus), and the rare, critically endangered Florida panther (Puma concolor "coryi"). | WIKI |
| [34] A variety of animal species meet their needs for food, shelter, nesting, and rooking in pine rocklands. | WIKI |
| Everglades National Park features twenty-five species of orchids. | WIKI |
| Three species of mangrove treesxe2x80x94red (Rhizophora mangle), black (Avicennia germinans), and white (Laguncularia racemosa)xe2x80x94can be found in the Everglades. | WIKI |
| They act as nurseries for many marine and bird species. | WIKI |
| Within the Florida mangrove systems live 220xc2xa0species of fish, and a variety of crabs, crayfish, shrimp, mollusks, and other invertebrates, which serve as the main source of food for many birds. | WIKI |
| [40] Dozens of bird species use mangroves as nurseries and food stores, including pelicans, grebes, tricolored herons (Egretta tricolor), gulls, terns, hawks and kites, and arboreal birds like mangrove cuckoos (Coccyzus minor), yellow warblers (Dendroica petechia), and white-crowned pigeons (Patagioenas leucocephala). | WIKI |
| [41] The mangroves also support 24xc2xa0species of amphibians and reptiles, and 18xc2xa0species of mammals, including the endangered green turtle (Chelonia mydas), hawksbill turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata), and West Indian manatee (Trichechus manatus). | WIKI |
| [49] Other bird species include bald eagles, cormorants, and ospreys. | WIKI |
| [108] It has great biodiversity and many species of birds for bird watching and bird photography also. | WIKI |
| Four Everglade species of sea turtle including the Atlantic green sea turtle, the Atlantic hawksbill, the Atlantic loggerhead (Caretta caretta), and the Atlantic ridley (Lepidochelys kempii) are endangered. | WIKI |
| Non-native species[edit] | WIKI |
| The introduction of non-native species into South Florida is a considerable problem for the park. | WIKI |
| Approximately 26xc2xa0percent of all fish, reptiles, birds, and mammal species in South Florida are exoticxe2x80x94more than in any other part of the U.S.xe2x80x94and the region hosts one of the highest numbers of exotic plant species in the world. | WIKI |
| Species that adapt the most aggressively to conditions in the Everglades, by spreading quickly or competing with native species that sometimes are threatened or endangered, are called "invasive". | WIKI |
| Thousands of exotic plant species have been observed in South Florida, usually introduced as ornamental landscaping, but park staff must eradicate such invasive plants as melaleuca tree (Melaleuca quinquenervia), Brazilian pepper (Schinus terebinthifolius), and Old World climbing fern (Lygodium microphyllum). | WIKI |
| Complex biological processes range from basic algal associations through progressively higher species and ultimately to primary predators such as the alligator, crocodile, and Florida panther; the food chain is superbly evident and unbroken. | UNESCO |
| The mixture of subtropical and temperate wildlife species is found nowhere else in the United States. | UNESCO |
| It provides important foraging and breeding habitat for more than 400 species of birds, includes the most significant breeding grounds for wading birds in North America and is a major corridor for migration. | UNESCO |
| Elevated nutrients from agricultural effluents have altered the natural populations of emergent plants, leading to invasions by nutrient tolerant species, and a loss of the algal associations known as periphyton. | UNESCO |
| The park is also facing a challenge from the introduction of numerous non-native species, including in particular the Burmese python, which has proliferated in the park. | UNESCO |
