"Discover the wild side of Florida at Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park! Endangered Florida panther, red wolf, manatee and whooping crane, plus black bear, bobcat and, of course, alligators. Gaze down into the depths of the first-magnitude spring and perhaps catch a glimpse of fish and manatees in their natural habitat.

The native wildlife that reside in the park serve as ambassadors for their species, providing visitors face-to-face connections with the animals and their habitats. Each with a unique life story, all of the animal inhabitants are here for the same reason - they are unable to survive in the wild on their own.
