Freshwater
Freshwater habitats are found on all the continents of the earth except Antarctica. Freshwater habitats include lakes, rivers, marshes, wetlands and swamps. The cycle of evaporation of ocean water, rain and snow provide these habitats a constant source of fresh water.
There are a wide variety of freshwater habitats. The animal species that live in these habitats vary dramatically from one area to another. Animals of all types, including large numbers of reptiles, fish and birds live in freshwater habitats.
