Answer:

A; wetlands on the southern tip of florida

Step-by-step explanation:

Everglades National Park is a 1.5-million-acre wetlands preserve on the southern tip of the U.S. state of Florida. Often compared to a grassy, slow-moving river, the Everglades is made up of coastal mangroves, sawgrass marshes and pine flatwoods that are home to hundreds of animal species. Among the Everglades' abundant wildlife are the endangered leatherback turtle, Florida panther and West Indian manatee.

I live close to the Everglades! It’s a national park where lots of exotic animals live. It’s 1.5 million acres of tropical wetland. In the 1800s they were gonna drain it but the idea went away. 50% of the original wetlands have been turned into farmland and urban areas
