Dry season = 7.32E-08 animal/m²

Wet season = 3.66E-08 animal/m²

Environmental Impact of the Big Cypress Jetport,1969.

*Half of the amount found in the reference above was used assuming that the cypress domes and strands are used less by this animal. Again, for the wet season half of the number for the dry season was used, assuming that the area in which this animal feeds and lives is less.*

Biomass per animal = 10725 g (wet weight)
