I HAVE SPOTTED WILD CATS, ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, INCLUDING BOBCATS IN THE COCONUT CREEK AREA IN NORTH BROWARD COUNTY FLORIDA. THERE ARE OTHERS THROUGHOUT SOUTH FLORIDA WITHIN THE COMMUNITIES AND SUBURBAN AREAS AND ALONG THE NORTHERN REACHES OF THE EVERGLADES SIGHTINGS OF JAGUARS, PANTHERS AS WELL AS LARGE BOBCATS. FLORIDIANS, OVER THE YEARS HAVE BEEN MOVING INTO NATURAL AREAS AND PAVING OVER THESE HABITATS. THERE IS A PARK NAMED FERN FOREST WHICH HAVE NUMEROUS WILD ANIMALS LIVING IN THIS FOREST OF 400 PLUS ACRES IN THE MIDST OF THE CITY OF COCONUT CREEK. I HAVE LOCATED ARMADILLOS, NESTING GOPHER TORTOISES, WILD RACCOONS, WOODPECKERS OF ALL SIZES, RED CARDINALS, AND EVEN BLACK BEARS. THERE ARE VERY REMOTE AND UNSPOILED AREAS WITHIN THE PARK. HOW THE ANIMALS TRAVEL IN AND OUT OF THE FORESTED AREA, IS NOT A MYSTERY. THERE IS A WILDLIFE CORRIDOR WHICH IS LINKED WITH THE NORTHERN PART OF THE EVERGLADES. THE COUNTY HAS NOW CREATED THIS CORRIDOR WITH A WILDLIFE TRAIL WHICH LINKS THE CITY WITH THE WILDERNESS. MANY LOCALS MAKE IT A HABIT TO VISIT ON A REGUALR BASIS AND TO REFLECT ON HOW FLORIDA'S WILDERNESS HAS DWINDLED. PLEASE HAVE THIS SET AN EXAMPLE TO OTHER COUNTIES TO HELP PROTECT AND ESTABLISH WILDLIFE CORRIDORS FOR OUR 'REMAINING'WILDLIFE IN SOUTH FLORIDA.
