Alright, we admit it—yesterday’s trail cam footage was just an April Fools prank. No spoonbill-tortoise hybrids here (probably 👀).
But Florida’s real wildlife? Pretty iconic...
🐾 Eastern Mole – These little diggers can tunnel up to 18 feet in an hour. Nature’s underground engineers.
🐢 Florida Softshell Turtle – Swift swimmers with the amazing ability to breathe underwater through their SKIN! One of these little guys recently gave Live Wildly`s @adventurist_sara a spook popping out above the water.
🐍 Greater Siren – A legless salamander that can survive MONTHS without food. Look at those little arms!!
🦋 Rosy Maple Moth – Fluffy, pink, and probably found among a lot of your indie / ALT / granola friend`s Pinterest boards.
Florida’s wildlife never ceases to amaze 🤩 🌿 #ExploreWildFlorida #LiveWildlyFL #WeAreWildFlorida

It’s #SaveTheFloridaPanther Day! 🐾🌿
The Florida panther is more than just a state icon—it’s a keystone species that keeps Florida’s ecosystem balanced. These big cats control prey populations like deer and hogs, which helps plants and habitats thrive. And as an umbrella species, protecting panthers also safeguards countless other animals, from black bears to gopher tortoises. 🌱🐻
To survive, panthers need space to roam, and the #FloridaWildlifeCorridor helps make that possible by connecting protected lands. Together, we can give them room to find mates, raise their young, and rebuild their population. 🌎✨
Click the link in our bio to pledge your support—every pledge equals $1 donated to conservation efforts.

Now, this isn’t something you see every day—spotted in Collier County: a panther hot on the trail of a wild boar. Looks like someone’s craving bacon... and honestly, who can blame `em? 🐾🥓
