Welcome to our guide to the animals of South Florida, covering more than 150 species listed alphabetically by Class. The guide is divided into two pages: here, you'll find invertebrates, inscects, spiders and the like. On Page 2, you'll find vertebrates — amphibians, mammals and reptiles. For birds, click here. Note: Most species have profiles that can be read by clicking the photo or the name. Some have yet to be proviled but will in in coming weeks and months. This guide is under construction, so please pardon our "dust."
