Homasassa Springs

 

We visited Homasassa Springs Wildlife State Park where they showcase native Florida wildlife.

 

The Homasassa River flows through the park, and the warm springs draw crouwds of wild manatees to the area. There were about 30 hanging out near the bridge.

 

Inside an underwater observatory called the Fish Bowl, we observed thousands of snook hanging out closest to the spring where it is the warmest.

 

In the reptile exhibit, baby alligators chased turtles around the habitat.
