Hello.
I am at Sawgrass recreational park.
I have a poncho, I have earplugs
because I'm going to go on an airboat adventure out into the Everglades.
And it is of course raining in Miami Florida, let's go.
Yeah, good size.
So they like it one, they're looking for somewhere around 80 to 90 degrees,
this is actually a little bit cooler for alligators,
they get too hot in the summer, they got to go in water
and be able to cool back down, they can't sweat
or anything like that
So, Gators are kind of at the mercy of whatever the outside temperature is
but they've survived that way for a long time.
The vultures.
The vultures have probably some of the most were most unappreciated
because they're not really pretty.
So, my thing broke.
Although we didn't get to see an alligator,
I mean, we saw a kind of an alligator but it went under really quick,
so I didn't actually, I don't think I got it on camera.
But they do have an animal exhibit here.
Look, look at that.
Where are you going?
That was not my first time on an airboat,
I grew up in Florida so I'm very familiar with the whole airboat experience
but I love airboats
and there's so much fun, this one in particular was actually
different from the ones that I used to ride in
but this is actually pretty cool, is really relaxing,
I would have stayed for a whole lot longer.
The third oldest tortoise in the world.
Please take extreme caution
when nearing the edges of walkways.
All gators and wildlife not in our exhibits are wild and unpredictable. Thank you.
- Winky, his name is Winky? - Yeah.
Winky is a very special senior cat, he is 14 years old,
and was kept as a private pet by an owner
who did not hold the proper licenses to have him,
his loss of vision in his one eye occurred during that time,
he was confiscated by FWC and was adopted by Predators Unlimited.
He now has his forever home with us here in Sawgrass.
This is a Florida panther.
This one was a pet along with that one.
Someone used to own these as a pet.
Her previous owners didn't conduct the proper research,
how to care for an exotic fox.
So, she was rescued from people who wanted to have a fox as a pet.
This is a leopard.
They were using the couple, there's another one over there,
in order to have them make babies so that they could charge people
to play with the baby cats.
We were just told that they are going to take out a baby alligator for us to see.
And that's it for this video
if you enjoyed it then please give me a thumbs up to let me know
and be sure to subscribe and follow me and check out Sawgrass.
All of their animals that you saw here in their enclosures are actually rescued
and are being rehabilitated here in this Center.
For now I am going to go
So, I will see you when I see you, bye!
It look like it was gonna poop at me.
