Last summer, several areas of Florida were overwhelmed with dragonflies! In one story, residents of Broward and Palm Beach County reported that they were not only out in force, but sometimes literally covered bushes or areas of standing water.

It sounds like the basis of a badly made sci-fi flick, doesn’t it? Giant snails invading an area, doing damage to everything in its wake, and in the mind of a writer, turning humans into zombies. Although zombies are outside the realm of possibility, the damage these snails can do is very real. In case […]

An albino bottlenose dolphin sighting is extremely rare! It’s so rare that only 15 documented sightings have been recorded since the 1960’s. That’s about one sighting every three plus years. The latest sighting was spotted right here in Brevard County’s own Indian River Lagoon. A volunteer from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission not […]
A vole is a small rodent like creature that is often mistaken for a regular mouse at first glance. Like a similarly-sounding pest – the mole – it digs tunnels underground and causes lots of damage. Although they have similar names and similar digging behavior, moles and voles are actually not related at all. While […]
