Florida is a constituent state of the United States of America, with its capital Tallahassee in the northwestern panhandle. Florida's geography has been a key factor in its long and colorful evolution, and explains the state's striking character today. The majority of Florida lies on a peninsula that extends southeast from the North American continent, dividing the waters of the Atlantic Ocean from the waters of the Gulf of Mexico. The state has over 67 000 km2 of forest, which is about half of the total area of the state. Florida is home to around 3,000 different wildflower species, and wild populations of coconut palms range from Key West to Jupiter Inlet on the East Coast and from Marco Island to Sarasota on the West Coast. The eastern coast of the state was generally dominated by mangrove forests south of Cocoa Beach and salt marshes north of St. Augustine. From the Florida Keys' coral reefs to the Panhandle's cypress swamps, the state's diverse habitats are home to a wide variety of wildlife. Florida ranks in the top five states for the number of endemic species. There are about 700 terrestrial animal species, 200 freshwater fish species, 1,000 marine fish species and thousands of terrestrial insects and other types of invertebrates in the state. The aquatic mammal species are the Bottlenose Dolphin, the Short-Finned Pilot Whale, the North Atlantic Right Whale and the West Indian Manatee. Among the terrestrial species are the Florida Panther, Northern River Otter, mink, Eastern Cottontail Rabbit, Marsh Rabbit, raccoon, Striped Skunk, squirrel, White-Tailed Deer, bobcat, Red Fox, Gray Fox, coyote, Florida Black Wolf, beaver, Florida Black Bear, Nine-Banded Armadillo and Virginia Opossum.
