When we arrived we got to see the Florida's native animals and insects. The Gofer
tortoises, snakes and even a baby alligator! Then we went to the planetarium where we
watched a movie about telescopes and galaxies. The room where they showed the movie was in the shape of a dome and the walls were completely white creating an illusion of being in space ship.
It was truly a great experience!
Of course we had to make it look like we are going to space!

native plants and their purposes. For example, the palms and plamettos that at the
beginning stages of their growth look alike except for the sharp peak in the leaf in the
palm and no peak in palmetto ( refer to pictures in the folder). At the end of the trip
we got to see some amazing animals. They are wild animals who were previously injured
and weren't able to live in the wild.The weather was very hot and mosquitos were
annoying, despite all that we had fun.
The first encounter we had with the Calusa Nature Center was two turtles "copulating." We're all adults here, but then in the insect room there was grasshoppers performing the same actions. Must be something in the air
We always hear about alligators at our campus and their vitality to the biodiversity throughout our environment. These alligators are pretty big if you ask me!
In our nature walk we walked through various highlands and low-lands. The different areas possess different qualities varying in moisture and other characteristics. Below is a photograph of a cypress tree which has a wide base and thrives well in moist environments. Therefore, if there is one in your backyard, beware of mosquitos!!
There is a peak in this plant, so this is the palm.
At the end of the day-girls just want to have fun!!
See you in the field trip =)
