On November 6th, our class took a trip to Moccasin Lake Park in Clearwater to see the oak hammock, canopy layers and the lake. The first thing I observed at the park was a Black Vulture named Elvis. Elvis is the oldest black vulture in captivity in the world. Next to Elvis was a Bald Eagle who had to have a wing partially amputated after hitting a power line. The class saw several animals species in the park, such as peacocks, alligator turtles, another bald eagle and we also saw a large alligator on the opposite side of the lake. We also saw several plant species such as slash pines, laurel oaks, live oaks, wax myrtles and some bald cypress.
