This week our class visited Babcock Ranch, a 17,000 acre planned community plus additional acres that contain a "working ranch." It is one of the largest cattle ranches in Florida. We took a tour of the ranch on a large cut away bus that was driven right through the woods and swamps. Our guide offered practical knowledge of the plants and animals that occupy the ranch. At one point she actually brought a baby alligator on the bus for us to see and touch.

Here is a picture of the "cracker cattle" that we came in contact with on the ranch. They slowly grazed through the pasture right outside our windows, only feet from the bus.
The trip was fun and very educational.
