  • The Flamingo Visitor Center is the southern most part of Florida. (not including The Key) It is also the only place in the whole world were alligators and crocodiles coexist naturally.

    Awesome! I've wondered what it looks like at the southern tip of Florida. It's very peaceful. Your camera work is wonderful. Going slow and steady and giving us a chance to really get a look at stuff. You're very considerate in doing so and I greatly appreciate it. This is very interesting. I didn't know about the crocodiles being there! I saw the one you pointed out. Thanks for another great video.

    I am so looking forward to more episodes in your Florida series. Actually, it's always a good day, after a long day at work, when I come home and UA-cam tells me that you've published a new video, no matter where you may be on this Earth.
    You're enthusiasm for seeking out and visiting unique and interesting places is obvious and I so enjoy it...

    1:50 - It's almost impossible to tell the difference between a gator and a croc unless you can see the snout. Crocs have narrow snouts and almost pointy jaws while gators have wide snouts and rounded jaws. Contrary to popular belief, you CAN find gators in brackish water. They don't stay long, but can venture into such areas for hours at a time.

    Well if that doesn't beat all! I never knew that there were crocs in the U.S. I wonder if they were imported or native. And manatees too! That building is huge and hasn't been abandoned for long. It is just another casualty of Mother Nature's wrath. Thanks for the tour.
