Sawgrass in winter

Sawgrass fuels the food chain in the freshwater marsh and is home to a number of interesting animals and wildlife.

Florida Coastal Everglades researchers and Everglades National Park visitors often encounter the American alligator, Mosquito fish, Florida banded water snake, deer, otters, raccoons, and numerous marsh birds.

Alligators call to each other from each of the sawgrass islands and their trails are clearly visible in the flooded marsh.
