Greater Wauchula - Fossils

Go fossil hunting at Peace River Park in Wauchula with members of the largest amateur paleontological club in the United States.

Florida was under water when dinosaurs roamed North America, but ancient mammals like the giant ground sloth and saber-toothed cats thrived here.

In this episode you will meet an amateur paleontologist who made a once in a lifetime find that scientists said is exceptionally rare and the most complete skeleton of that animal found worldwide.

Rescued from the entertainment industry, research facilities, and the exotic pet trade, these incredible creatures are given a private, nurturing, and enriching environment to live out their lives in the Sunshine State.
