This is the North American River Otter. It relates to me because they like being outside.  Freshwater Plant Adaptations - Freshwater plants are flexible, which helps them in oncoming tides and prevents danger from the plant. [] - Their broad leaves will spread their weight more evenly across the water surface, allowing them to float. [] - Many plants have special structures to keep them from being carried away by the water. [] - Some aquatic plants have stronged roots to keep them anchored securely. []

Freshwater Animal Adaptations - Some animals need the movement of stream or river water to survive. [] - Some animals have suction-cup structures on their bodies to hold onto rocks during fast waters. [] - Plants and animals are used to low salt content. They wouldn't be able to survive in places with high salt content. [] - Fish need gills to breathe dissolved oxygen underwater. []

Climate Facts - There are 2 different types of freshwater, slow-moving and fast-moving. - Fast-flowing streams have clearer water and a higher oxygen content than slow-moving water. - Slow-moving environments support more plant life. - Most nutrients that support plant life in flowing water ecosystems are washed into the water from land.
