So many critters in Southwest Florida, so little time to capture them on video.
But we try. These 10 videos are just a small sample of the amazing, the breathtaking, the whacky and the very wild wildlife videos we have saved in the News-Press and Naples Daily News archives through the years. From a bear roaming at a golf course to a hungry manatee, we have pretty much seen it all.
Enjoy!
