Welcome back, guys! Today, we’re going to the Everglades.
We’re going to see some exotic wildlife like alligators, for example.
I’m really excited. It’s going to be a great day. Stay tuned.
Everglades National Park encompasses nearly 1.5 million acres.
Everglades!
We’re just going to have some breakfast and we’re waiting until the gate opens in about 20 minutes.
I think it’s going to be a lot of fun.
We heard an alligator.
There aren’t too many times in life you can say that you’ve had breakfast with an alligator.
This place we’re at, Shark Valley… People are shocked when they come here
because you’re going to be going around a path that looks like this path here.
And it’s very common for the alligator to be right here, and you need to go like this…
It’s the only place in the United States where you can get this close to the alligator if you want to.
I’ve never heard of anyone being hurt or injured here.
That’s good!
We’re going to go for a tram tour. We were initially going to take a bike ride but,
there’s pretty much the same thing for two and a half hours,
and then you have 30 minutes where you might see some crocodiles or alligators.
Alligators vs. crocodiles
There are a lot of differences between crocodiles and alligators.
Some of the obvious ones are that crocodiles have a longer snout than alligators,
and crocodiles tend to live in salt water,
while alligators always live in fresh water, like in the Everglades.
Comparing those two are actually like comparing a tiger to a lion.
There are a lot of differences.
I think this is our best chance to get the best experience of the Everglades.
I think we’re going to take a bike ride as well, after we’re done with the tram.
It’s going to be a fun day.
We have seen a lot of alligators along the way. Now we’re at the observation tower.
We’re just going to take a quick stop here and then we’re going to continue the tour.
I think they have intentions of maybe doing something more after.
They started with this.
It gives me a little Jurassic Park feeling.
Yes.
Don’t forget to put on your sunscreen.
All the Everglades are apparently really big. I don’t know if you guys remember how big it is.
No? It’s as big as Rhode Island or something.
Twice the size of Rhode Island? Yeah. Something like that.
Now we’re going to go have a closer look to see if there’s anything we’ve missed.
Then we’re going to take the airboat, so it’s going to be really fun!
