Natural history and picture book to the Everglades.

The open wilderness of southwest Florida, where the Big Cypress subsides into the Everglades, is the most dramatic wildlife habitat in North America. It is flat and swampy and inhospitable, and such big animals as it has left are rarely seen. Perhaps it is that -- the sense of something not quite known, of mystery withheld from the hard gaze of man.
