Africa is often referred to as the "Animal Kingdom." With so much vast landscape, and also a mixture of vegetation, it is a breeding ground for beastly animals such as leopards, rhinos, lions, buffalo and elephants. These animals are classified as Africa's "Big Five." Florida is also a breeding ground for many of the worlds most famous animals. Although there isn't a specified "Big Five," Florida definitely has list to choose from.
With its wide variety of landscape, such as lakes, ponds, oceans, bayous, swamps and large pieces of land, Florida provides oppurtunities to many of its inhabitors. When thinking about Florida, many different animals come to mind. Panthers, bears, alligators, rabbits, dolphins, squirrels, coyotes and foxes, only the tip of the iceberg. If I were to choose a top five, I would have to say that it consists of alligators, dolphins, panthers, black bears and eagles.
There is a great possibility that this list is innaccurate or perhaps needs a little change. For the most part I believe this is a fairly concrete list of Florida's "Big Five." Some of these animals have been close to extinction or maybe still are, but I believe it they should definitely be judged on their quality rather than quantity. It's a shame to know that animals are dying everyday due to unhealthy conditions. It's important for communities to come together and attempt the save their ecosystems.
I like how descriptive you were, it helped draw out in detail what kind of landscapes Africa and Florida have.
