Florida: Babcock Ranch Nature Preserve

I have a new favorite place in Florida for looking at wildlife.  I do love the Everglades, but Babcock Ranch is Old Florida and off the beaten path and underdeveloped near Punta Gorda in South West Florida.  On the ranch land, there is a nature preserve, which you can drive through on a swamp buggy to see wildlife in their natural habitat.  What I like about it is, yes, you get your gators and regular Florida wildlife, but you also get interesting wildlife like hogs, racoons, and cracker cattle.  Its real swamp-life Florida.
