Sambo, Sabas S. BEED - III Swamps are wetland areas that are natural habitats for several animal and plant species. A common swamp area includes several bodies of water, woody and aquatic vegetation and uniquely adapted animals. A swamp is critically important to providing fresh water and oxygen to other nearby ecosystems, as well as maintaining endangered wildlife that may not thrive in other areas.
Some animals that are present here and there biorhythms are the ff: 1. BEAVER - is a large, semi-aquatic rodent with a large, flattened tail. It is a strong swimmer and can swim up to 5 miles per hour (8 kph). The beaver can swim underwater for up to 15 minutes. Beavers do not hibernate over winter, but they will stay in their lodge, where they have stored enough food to last until spring. 2. FROGS- are amphibians that spend part of their lives under water and the remainder on land. Frogs spend their lives near water because they must return to the water to lay their eggs. In harsh climates, frogs bury themselves in sand and mud and hibernate (sleep very deeply) through the cold winter. 3. RACCOONS- are small, very adaptable mammals, they live in a variety of habitats, including marshes, forests, prairies, cities, and suburbs. These nocturnal (most active at night) animals have a life span of about 6 years in the wild. Raccoons are omnivores; they will eat almost anything. 4. Rafinesque’s Eastern Big-Eared Bat-These are slow-flying bats that are good at hovering. They leave their roosts after sunset to feed and return before sunrise. They breed during the fall and winter, after which the females will congregate in all-female roosts to give birth in the spring, usually in May or June, to a single hairless pup 5. Crayfish - are crustaceans that are omnivores; they eat plants, animals, and decaying organisms. They are nocturnal (most active at night) and eat fish, shrimp, water plants, worms, insects, snails, and plankton. Some plants and flowers that are present here and there biorhythms are the ff: 1. Swamp morning glory - its perennial vine's stems grow up to 4 feet, float on the top of the water and grows over other plants in the mud and kills them. They produce white to pale pink morning-glory like flowers. 2. Bald Cypress Trees - are the most recognizable trees found in swamps. Their cone-shaped roots rise out above the water level and are referred to as "knees." The trees can grow to 120 feet in height. The needle-like leaves fan out in an attractively shaped crown 3. Log Ferns - are one of the rarest ferns. It grows to a height of 3 to 4 feet and a width between 1 1/2 and 2 1/2 feet with shiny dark green foliage. Log ferns prefer a moist location with bright shade and protection from the wind with organically rich humus soil. 4. Swamp Lily – The swamp lily is a perennial herb, with an onion-like bulb, they are strap-like, up to 3 feet long and 3 inches wide. 5. Swamp Tupelo - has minute greenish-white flowers that appear in the spring with the leaves, usually in late April. The swamp tupelo grows in humid warm climates. It not only tolerates flooding but actually thrives under those conditions.

Lopez, Melvin I. Estuary mudflats seem an unlikely setting for some of the most productive habitats in the world, but here at the interface of land and sea life abounds – for the select few. Certain plants, seaweeds and photosynthetic micro-organisms (phytoplankton) absorb nutrients at a fast rate, grow rapidly and produce lots of food. Estuaries are termed ‘open’ ecosystems because they are vitally linked to the wider environment. Nutrients are carried in from the land via rivers, and from the sea by the tides. Some of these nutrients are then taken out again when animals such as fish and birds leave the estuary. Some are also flushed out to sea onoutgoing tides. Food webs Living organisms within an estuary co-exist in a network of interdependent feeding relationships, known as a food web. An estuarine food web contains the following elements: • Phytoplankton. These microscopic organisms manufacture food by photosynthesis and absorb nutrients such as phosphorus and nitrogen from the water. • Detritus (dead organic matter). • Microscopic animals known as zooplankton eat some of the phytoplankton. The remainder of the phytoplankton becomes detritus, when it dies. • Larger estuary animals such as filter-feeding worms, shellfish and hungry young fish feed on the zooplankton and detritus.
Badgers Meles meles meles-A large subspecies with a strongly developed sagittal crest, it has a soft pelage and relatively dense underfur. It can weigh up to 20–24 kg in autumn, with some specimens attaining even larger sizes. winter sleep in badgers is not accompanied by the lowering of body temperature or bodily functions. Badgers begin to prepare for winter sleep during late summer by accumulating fat reserves, which reach a peak in October. During this period, the sett is cleaned and the nesting chamber is filled with bedding.Lifespan 8-10 years. Male Mallards Duck, , are more distinctively colored than females, who are mottled brown with a flourish of iridescent purple on their wing feathers.Lifespan 5-10 yearsMallards live in wetlands, eat water plants and small animals, and are gregarious.

Bongos are characterised by a striking reddish-brown coat, black and white markings, white-yellow stripes and long slightly spiralled horns.

High elevations like mountains are isolated and contain naturally growing flora, these places conserve biodiversity more than low lands where agricultural practices, urbanization, industrialization etc, disturb biodiversity and wild flora doesn't find equal chances to flourish, since the mountains are generally undisturbed places where biodiversity is found conserved, therefore wild plants including medicinal plants are frequently found naturally growing in such places.
Food web Male Mallards Duck - Food specialization by European badgers ( Meles meles) is a largely debated controversy. Data from Mediter-ranean areas indicate small importance of earthworms (Lumbricusspp.) in badger diet and support the idea that badg-ers are generalist predators. Mallards are very good mothers. She will keep track of her young and stop to collect them if they get scattered. If a predator approaches, a mother Mallard will often pretend to be hurt by squawking and flapping on the ground. By doing this, she will lure the predator away from her young. Young Mallards can fly after about two months. Until then, they are very vulnerable to predators. Foxes, raccoons, snapping turtles, and large fish will take ducklings. Mallard eggs are also eaten by crows, snakes, and other predators. The bongo, Tragelaphus eurycerus, is a herbivorous , mostly nocturnal forest ... bongo requires an ample amount of food, and is restricted. The food chain of the mountain gorilla is fairly straightforward and simple. The mountain gorilla is an herbivore, meaning it eats only plants. Typically, a mountain gorilla will eat wild berries or grass. Foliage makes up the largest part of a mountain gorilla?s diet as it is plentiful, unlike sparse patches of fruits. A mountain gorilla will then, unfortunately, be hunted by humans, so poachers would be above the mountain gorilla in their food chain.
