Temperate grassland wildlife in Florida

In Florida, from Miami to Cape Coral, wildlife encounters are a year-round reality. The state's warm, humid climate and distinct wet and dry seasons create habitats for a variety of animals. Coastal areas and inland metros like Lakeland and Palm Bay experience unique challenges as urban environments expand.

Florida’s temperate climate means wildlife activity doesn't significantly decrease in colder months, though some species may become less active during cooler periods. The abundant rainfall, especially during hurricane season, can drive animals like raccoons, opossums, and armadillos into drier, sheltered locations, including attics and garages in homes across the state. Permitting for wildlife removal is often handled at the state level by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, with specific regulations for different species. Housing in Florida ranges from single-family homes with yards to dense urban apartment buildings, each presenting different access points for animals.
