If you think your creepy cat-lady neighbor, who always smells of old cigarettes and shame, is a strange beast, check out these interesting Florida Facts.
- Florida is the only state that has two rivers with the same name. There is a Withlacoochee in north central Florida (Madison County) and a Withlacoochee in central Florida. They have nothing in common except the name.
- The Seven Mile Bridge, that crosses between Marathon and the Lower Keys, was built in 1982 – in pieces – then shipped to the Keys to be assembled.
- There is a bed & breakfast, WildLife on Easy Street, on the outskirts of Tampa that allows you to cuddle with an endangered cat of your choice for just a $100 donation to the refuge. You can choose baby bobcats, cougars, and leopards. (hahaha that's insane)
- Flamingos get their pink color from the shrimp they eat. The more shrimp they eat the deeper pink they become.
