The Everglades

The Everglades National Park in Florida, the USA, is an unusual place. It is a very wide, slow-moving river with grass growing all through it. Rare animals live there, including panthers and large water-dwelling creatures called manatees. The Everglades area was named a national park to protect it. Today, families visit the Everglades to camp, row boats, and spot birds and amazing animals like alligators.
