Fakahatchee Strand | Panthers Bobcats and Bears

- We took a trip to one of my favorite destinations in January, Fakahatchee Strand Preserve State Park. We planned a two days trip and it was well worth it. Temps in the mid-40s made this destination well worth the 4 hours of driving to get there. Bugs were minimal and the swamp was alive and perfect.
Although we did not see a panther, we sure came close as we discovered numerous cat tracks that were identified by a panther biologist after our trip.
We enjoyed the cool temps and the flora and fauna of this particular landscape and hope you do too! we did see a bobcat and black bear but only managed to get a picture of the bobcat...my memory chip failed when I hit the shutter for the back bear. Very depressing, but I learned as lesson.
We hope you enjoy the video and like and subscribe to the channel for more videos!
Thank you for taking the time to read this.
Sincerely,
Mark & Karen

Love it there, bears Turkey, deer, bobcat. But no bunnies, possum, and only one squirrel have we observed. Guess pythons have been around. Hawks , vultures, storks, kingfishers,and more flocks of Turkey. More birds than identifiable. Fishing is superb.
Thanks for the reply and your own observations!! Yes it unique. The pythons are getting closer and they have made it into the big cypress. Sadly I think it’s only a matter of time. Have you seen Everglades Mink?
Dude that van looks like it smells like every childhood memory at my grandparents cabin. I bet that wood smells amazzzzzzing
Lol. It’s great. I’ve never thought about it like that!! Made my day!
We were there today and passed your van on Janes Scenic Drive. Keep up the content! This was our first visit, but we want to come back as it gets cooler.
It’s a very special place. Definitely when it’s cooler. Summer is outstanding minus the high heat, high humidity, potholes and bugs. That said, we’ve seen the most bear ever (7 in 10 hours) during the Summer. I’ve seen Everglades Mink all throughout the year including today. No panther as of yet :/
Faka is like fishing, even if you never get a bite it’s exciting - and what’s left of some of the most unique natural areas in the world! Thanks for saying hello. 5 hours and made it back to Orlando! That’s the absolute worst thing about getting Faka. Now some rest so I can start work Monday….
Thanks again!
Cool video. That's my favorite spot on the planet.
Thank you! It’s one of those places that most people will never get to, thankfully. Hope you understand what I mean. :)
Great video! I love Fakahatche Strand!
It’s amazing every time. Sometimes it is like fishing: even if you don’t get a bite it is still fun!!
Looks beautiful. I'm taking my first trip there in April and I'm stoked!
Killer!! Yeah it’s something. Love the place. I’m heading there in March for the last time, before it gets too hot.
Cool video. I think the estimated panther population in Florida is between 80-150 correct? I’m assuming the chances of seeing one are extremely rare.
You are absolutely correct. Sadly most are “seen” when a vehicle strikes them. One day I hope to see one. Just got to keep trying. Meanwhile, the Everglades Mink is an awesome diversion. They are very rare too and the pythons are having their way with them. Pretty bad situation.
I hear they sound like women screaming.
Lol, I do not want to hear that!!! I’ve heard it’s pretty scary. Much like barred owls cackling during mating season.
