Swamps are wetlands that are forested or dominated by shrubs. They occur along rivers and lakes where water levels are dependent on natural flows. Swamps support a variety of plant and animal life, including trees like bald cypress and tupelo gum, shrubs, fish, alligators, birds, and insects. Swamps can also contain dry-land areas called hammocks covered in aquatic or periodically flooded vegetation.

11. Forested Swamps
 Are dominated by the bald cypress and
tupelo gum trees. They also have
other varieties of trees and plants.
They provide homes to many animals
like
deer, beaver, otter, muskrat, fox, black
bear, frogs, snakes, turtles, and a
large variety of birds. The difference
between the forested swamp and the
shrub swamp is that the forested
swamp has lots of trees and is often
covered by a layer of old leaves.

12. Shrub Swamps
 A shrub swamp is a swamp that has
mostly shrubs in it rather than trees.
It is dominated by
grass, algae, reeds, and many types
of shrubs. Herons and other birds like
shrub swamps because of the
abundant food supply.
