Springs Eternal: Florida's Fountain of Youth
Video: Full Episode

According to legend, Spanish explorers believed that a fountain of eternal youth existed somewhere in the place we know today as Florida. In a poetic way, they were right. Beneath Florida lies the world’s largest known system of springs. These springs shelter strange life forms and dot the land above it with outlets of water that once was as pure as any found on this planet. This film premiered May 13, 2000.

    Oh man, good! I never seen this episode! It’s one of my favorite! Florida’s my favorite state! This episode reminded me of “Going Wild With Jeff Corwin”. Would like have seen some Bottle Nosed Dolphin, and Homosassa Springs, but other then that, great episode! 5 stars!
