Life in a lowland swamp

Wetlands are places where plants and animals are used to living in wet conditions. They support the greatest concentration of wildlife than any other habitat in New Zealand. The native species illustrated in this poster can be found in a lowland swamp (a type of wetland) but it is unlikely you will see them all together in one place at the same time.
