Racoon


At the Corkscrew Sactuary we saw a raccon. It was great to be able to see one so close.
Racoon:
Medium size mammal, who is native to North America. Their original habitats are decidius and mixed forests, but due to their adaptability they have extended their range to mountains areas, coastal marshes, and even urban areas, where some homeowners consider them to be pets.

Sabal Palm

The Sabal palmetto is also known as Cabbage Palm, Palmetto, Cabbage Palmetto, Palmetto palm, and Sabal Palm. It is one of 15 species. The Palmetto is native to the southeastern United States, Cuba, and the Bahamas.
The Sabal palmetto grows up to 6 ft in height and each leaf is 5 to 6 ft long. This Palm is also eatable.
