The Florida Everglades are subtropical wetlands located in the southern portion of Florida. A large watershed begins near the city of Orlando where the Kissimmee River flows into Lake Okeechobee. During the wet season, water flowing from this shallow lake forms a slow-moving river that flows across a limestone shelf. The Everglades contains many ecosystems that include freshwater marshes, tropical hardwood hammocks, pine rock lands, mangrove forests, saltwater marshes and sea grass ecosystems. The river flowing through the Everglades forms the saw grass marshes pictured below and is home to many inhabitants such as birds, reptiles as well as the manatee.
