More than 50 species of reptiles, including 26 species of snakes and 16
species of turtles, have been found in Everglades National Park. The
reptiles include, of course, the alligator, which is the symbol of the
Everglades. Less conspicuous than the reptiles are the 18 species of
amphibians that live here. Many are nocturnal. These lists represent
species found within the park or nearby. Species considered exotic to
Everglades National Park are marked with an asterisk (*).
