Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Until geologically recently much of Florida was below a warm shallow ocean, in conditions similar to the Bahamas today, and accumulated a lot of limestone. About 23 million years ago sea level dropped enough that portions of Florida became dry land and land animals occupied the area for the first time.
