2 Georgia Habitats Marsh and Swamp Mosquito Alligator Cattails Dragonfly
Description- A swamp is an area of land covered in still or slow-moving water, with plants growing in and around it. Only a few kinds of trees can grow in such waterlogged areas. These trees such as cypress trees have roots that stick out of the water to take in air. The Okefenokee Swamp gets its name for Choctaw Indian words which mean "quivering earth". The dark tea color of the water is due to tannic acid formed from decaying plant material and peat.  Location- The Okefenokee Swamp is located in southeastern Georgia. It is 38 miles in length and approximately 25 miles wide. The swamp covers almost 700 square miles.  What animals live there? - Alligators, marsh rabbits, otters, frogs, raccoons, dragonfly, ibis, and mosquitoes all live in the swamp. What plants grow there? - Cypress trees, as seen at the top of the page, cattails and water lllies all grow in the swamp Mosquito Alligator Cattails Dragonfly Raccoons Otters Marsh Rabbit Ibis Frogs

3 Georgia Habitats Coastal Plains Ghost Shrimp Sea Gull Sea Oats Herron
Description- Georgia's coast is made up of sandy beaches and barrier islands. The coastline of Georgia is almost 110 miles long. The action of the waves stops the growth of plants except on the dunes which are above the high tide line. Sea Oats growing on the dunes help prevent erosion.  Location- The coast is located along Georgia' southeastern border with the Atlantic Ocean. The barrier islands of Cumberland, Sapelo and Ossabaw lie off the coast of Georgia. What animals live there? - Ghost shrimp, ghost crab, sea gulls, herons   What plants grow there? - Sea oats and morning glories grow on the coast.
