These bodies of water don’t have to be very deep at all. They can be as low as only one foot of water in them. They never have more than six feet of water in them. The Florida Everglades in the United States is the biggest freshwater biome in the world. However, you will find freshwater biomes all over the world.

PLANTS
What many experts have noted though is that there are very few types of plants that can’t grow well in a freshwater biome. It is also important to note that the freshwater biome has the second largest diversity among the plants and animals that are found within it. This makes it both exciting to explore and a vital benefit to Earth as a whole. |
ANIMALS
There is no shortage of animals or plants living in a freshwater biome. It is believed that more than 700 species of fish, 1,200 species of amphibians, mollusks, and insects all live in these areas. Many of them are very tiny so they may seem unimportant or be easy to miss. Yet they have a significant role in their environment just like the larger and well known inhabitants of such a location. There are plenty of great animals that live in the water of the freshwater biome. They include frogs, crab, shrimp, turtles, and tadpoles. Some of them live both in the water and on the land around it including the beaver. The otter may be found living here as well. In large freshwater biomes the manatee could be present as well. |
