Marshes, swamps, bogs, and ponds are all wetlands. Wetlands are places that are covered with shallow water that is not too deep. Special tall grasses and cattails grow in wetlands because they like wet muddy soil and water. They are important to the animals that live there. These special plants provide food and shelter.
Animals that live in wetlands have physical adaptations that help them survive. Ducks have wide webbed feet that help them swim and waterproof feathers that help them stay warm and dry.
Beavers have wide flat tails to help them steer as they swim. They also very large strong teeth to cut down thick grasses for food and trees for building.
Frogs have strong, strong legs for swimming. The marsh is a perfect environment for the frog, because he can find insects, worms, and even snakes to eat.
A wetland is a habitat for many plants and animals. The next time you are near a pond, walk carefully. You are may be in a community that is home to many populations.
