Few places in the U.S. offer such easy access to such a range of unusual and fascinating creatures. Some are rare and endangered like the petite Key deer, which number less than 1,000. Some are so common as to be considered nuisances like the colorful and feisty chickens that strut the streets of Key West. Animal lovers (and most kids) will enjoy them all. The Keys are also home to the American crocodile, and the Key Largo woodrat. About 70 miles (110 km) west of Key West is Dry Tortugas National Park, one of the most isolated and therefore well-preserved in the world.
