Ellie Schiller Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park






Our good friend Lindsey told us about Homosassa and what a great place it is.


Having parked the car we were driven into the park on a trailer.




Just some of the baby Alligators.


This is an American Beaver.



Baby Turtles.


If you look really closely these are 3 adults Turtles sitting in the sun.


I think this is a good idea but the Alligators put me off anyway.


Owl.


Another Owl.




North American Stork drying off (thank you Jack)..


Flamingo's


Strange mix of birds.




Bald Eagle



 Florida Black Bears.




A selection of Pelicans.




Just sitting in the afternoon sun.

Watching the world go by.





Not an indigenous animal.


No comment.


And of course the Manatee's
They measure up to 13 feet (4.0 m) long, weigh as much as 1,300 pounds (590 kg).
Big Vegetarians they just eat grass and greens. Not sure I'm going to loose weight if thats the case.







The fish swim up the river to the fresh water spring for short time.




These video's were taken from an under water observation
deck immediately above the spring.





The American otter, he's there and he's quick. 


We had to make our way back to the car. 
This time we went on a boat nice and gentle.







A really nice place to visit.
