Beyond Blackwater
　　A black, still expanse of water stretches as far as the eye can see, topped with thousands of lily pads and lined by cypress trees laden with long strands of Spanish moss. The water surface is like a mirror image, occasionally interrupted by the still outline of an alligator. This is the Okefenokee Swamp in Georgia a unique wilderness that provides a last refuge for wild animals, from black bears to white-tailed deer, fishing spiders to giant salamanders.
　　Cajun Country
　　Welcome to the Atchafalaya Swamp, an immense floodplain where flooded forests dissected by tranquil bayous provide refuge for an astonishing array of wildlife living in and around the largest river swamp in America.
