By Scottie Andrew, CNN Wedged between Florida’s two coasts are some of the richest ecosystems in the US, teeming with native wildlife that prefers to be hidden from human view. The animals’ natural lives for the most part remain a secret to Floridians. To catch glimpses of them in the wild, Carlton Ward Jr. sets a camera trap and bides his time. “I wait for the animal to take its own picture,” said Ward, a conservationist, wildlife photographer and lifelong Floridian. It’s rigorous work that forces Ward to venture into the humid depths of the Everglades or hold his breath while rigging an underwater camera in a murky swamp. The animals rarely reveal themselves when he’s in their midst.
