#Everglades

It truly sucks that both reptiles are invasive. They are both so cool. Exploring the Everglades outside of doing research as a scientist there and searching for wildlife is so fun and I'm always learning something new. Side note chameleons and tortoises are now my favorite reptiles. #scientist #invasivespecies #everglades #reptiles #floridawildlife

Looks like there’s a fire 🔥 in the #everglades 😳

Nunca había estado tan cerca de un búho salvaje. Este encuentro fotográfico con un barrado en los Everglades fui increíble, gracias a @gogutti_ 👏🏼 #wildlifephotography #everglades #floridawildlife

Naples is often reduced to a single idea. Luxury real estate, quiet streets, waterfront living, a pace that feels deliberately calm. That image is real, but it is only the surface layer. Collier County sits inside one of the most active ecological systems in North America, a network of wetlands, canals, mangroves, and tidal corridors connected to the Everglades that runs uninterrupted through residential development. The same waterways that frame multimillion-dollar homes also function as movement corridors shaped by flow, food, and instinct, operating on a timeline that predates every structure placed around them. What defines this place is not what is built, but what continues beneath it. Not scenery, but system. The boundaries people recognize, streets, seawalls, property lines, hold visually, but they do not function the same way environmentally. The result is a coastal city where calm and activity exist at the same time, where stillness is often just limited visibility. #naplesflorida #florida #alligators #floridawildlife #everglades

We had the best time feeding the gators and holding baby alligators! They were so cute 😍 🐊 #florida #travel #IGreelschallenge #everglades #springbreak

Periphyton was an important component of my research in the Everglades. This is because it, along with vegetation are the main components of flocculent organic matter. These mats play a significant role in wetland dynamics. The first time I came across it, I thought it was a mushed chicken nugget. #scientist #wetlands #everglades #ecology #stem

Yoink! Cruised the Everglades yesterday with @fishingarrett 🐊 Saw tons of wildlife, a big 17’ python a couple other hunters had grabbed, and chatted about reckless development. #florida #everglades #pythons #alligators
