Wetlands are home to many different types of animals, both large and microscopic. Some common animals that live in wetlands include foxes, birds like ducks and geese, frogs, deer, muskrats, fish, snakes, insects, and rodents. Insects have six legs and can live in water. Rodents have two large front teeth and are unable to tolerate cold temperatures. Birds of prey have eyes in the front of their heads, talons, strong beaks, and large wings to help them hunt other animals.
