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.
