The dominant tree species here. In the hammocks here it grows as var. imbricarium (pond cypress).

Cypress hammock. Our guide gave us a quiz: which trees are the oldest? Answer: trick question; they're all the same age. The 'high' ground capable of supporting trees has existed just as long at one end as at the other. But nutrient-rich silt and debris, being washed down the slough, lodges at the upstream end, so those trees grow tall, while the downstream ones are dwarfed in these nutrient-poor conditions. Hence the taper of the hammocks always points the way south in the Everglades.

I realize this 'photo' is so impressionistic as to be nearly useless, but the critter really is present in it (snout in the upper left, facing left). Anyway, it was well seen thru binocs, just not well photographed.
