Wakulla Springs, Natural spring in Wakulla County, United States
The Wakulla cave system extends through a network of underwater tunnels spanning 12 miles beneath the limestone of northern Florida.
Native Paleo-Indians established camps near the spring 12,000 years ago, hunting prehistoric animals such as mastodons and giant ground sloths.
Film productions including early Tarzan movies and Creature from the Black Lagoon used Wakulla Springs as a filming location from 1938 onwards.
The spring releases 400 million gallons of water daily, forming the Wakulla River that flows nine miles southeast to join the St. Mark's River.
Scientists discovered remains of extinct mammals from the last glacial period, including mastodons, saber-toothed tigers, and short-faced bears.
