We went to the Busch Wildlife Sanctuary in Jupiter where they display many native Florida animals and rehabilitate others that have been injured. When possible, they release the injured animals back into the wild. They have a problem releasing the panthers because of the destruction of their habitat. It gave us a chance to see some animals up close that we would otherwise not have seen and, in many cases, are glad we have not met in the wild. They have panthers, bobcats, fox, snakes, crocodiles, alligators, and many different kinds of birds. One of our great surprises in Florida is the large variety of wildlife we have been able to see.
