Florida is known for it’s abundance of wildlife. Every tree, every plant, and certainly every collection of water is home to some sort of wildlife. Some harmless, some incredibly dangerous, and most are some where in between. Because of this, we have a wide variety of state animals.
Here is a fairly comprehensive list of the state animals.
Barking Tree Frog
Panther
Northern Mockingbird
American Flamingo
Manatee
American Alligator
Florida Largemouth Bass
Atlantic Sailfish
Loggerhead Sea Turtle
Horse Conch
Florida Cracker Horse
Common Bottlenose Dolphin
Gopher Tortoise
Each of these animals brings something special to the Sunshine State. Many we can see throughout the year in our own communities. We should protect their environments and the animals themselves from human encroachment. That way we can all enjoy this state for years to come.
Happy Wildlife Viewing!
