ZoologistAnimal adaptations

Symbiotic relationships

The alligator snapping turtle has special adaptations that help it hunt and to defend it has a small worm like tongue that lures fish into it’s mouth and a jaw strength of 2,000 psi (pounds per square inch).

The most commonly seen symbiotic relationship in this biome is parasitism and the most commonly seen parasite are leaches, that suck the blood from predators.

Geographer Where in the world

is this biomeWetlands are

scattered all over the world except Antarctica.

Most of them are in Great Britain and the U.S.A

GeographerLand forms

The wetlands is a basin were the ground is depressed or along the ground.

The soil in this biome is full of nutrients for under water plants to grow.

meteorologistBiomes climate like Average precipitation

The hot and humid climate is because of the amount of precipitation and change in climate.

The amount of rainfall a wetland receives depends on it’s location.

In southeast Asia there is heavy rainfall ranging from 100 to 200 (inches) and the average of 15 (centimeters)

BotanistPlant reproduction Succession typesPollination is the process

reproduction. Dying reeds cause the

w3ater to become dense and slow moving. As more plants die matter forms and it becomes a wetland

BotanistWhat are the native plants

The growing seasonNative plants include

trees, and aquatic plants that have to tolerate being under water for a long time.

The growing season depends on the weather.
