Tapirs are large, herbivorous mammals with a short, prehensile snout, resembling a pig with a stubby elephant trunk, and are related to horses and rhinos. While many prehistoric species have vanished, wild populations still cling to existence in Central and South America, as well as Southeast Asia.

Fossils of the American alligator are unsurprisingly found throughout much of Florida. They are incredibly adaptable and have lived for millions of years with little physical changes. Some typical alligator fossils include osteoderms, the hard boney plates that cover much of their bodies, teeth, jaws, bones, and even fossil alligator p**p (scientifically called coprolites).

Horses originally evolved in North America over 50 million years ago, eventually migrating globally across land bridges. During the last Ice Age (the Pleistocene), diverse species of the genus Equus thrived across the continent. Horse teeth are commonly found amoung other Ice Age fossils such as Mammoths, Mastodons, Bison, Camels, etc.
