Swamps and marshes are located in the Coastal Plain region of Georgia, with the largest being the Okefenokee Swamp. Swamps have a hot, wet, and humid climate with dark, soft soil that is covered in water. Animals that live in swamps, like alligators, snakes, birds, turtles and frogs, have adaptations like webbed feet and the ability to live on both land and water. Plants in swamps, such as cypress trees, pitcher plants and cattails, have adaptations like roots that can grow above or below water and stems and leaves that can withstand wet conditions and temperature variations.
