  • A Florida tree snail (Liguus fasciatus) climbs a tree along the Gumbo Limbo Trail in the Everglades National Park, Florida. The trail winds through a tropical hardwood hammock, a dense forest that forms only in areas that are protected from fires and floods. This area is only three feet higher than the neighboring wetlands. There are 52 different color forms of the Florida tree snail found in south Florida.

  • A fiery sunset colors the sky above several slash pine trees (Pinus elliotti) in the Pinelands of the Florida Everglades. Pine trees cannot survive if submerged for extended periods, and therefore grow only at the highest elevations in the Everglades – only a few feet higher than the lowest points. Slash pine trees are specially adapted to survive fires, however, which destroy invasive species.

  • Slash pine trees (Pinus elliotti) grow in the "river of grass" that makes up the Florida Everglades. Pine trees, which need to stay relatively dry, grow at the highest points of the Everglades – only a foot or two higher than the lowest point.
