UNIT 9: ECOLOGYHow does this bird interact with its ecosystem?
Anhingas live in freshwater marshes and swamps of the southeastern United States. While they are primarily consumers of fish, an anhinga’s diet may also include aquatic insects and invertebrates. The anhinga and the fish are just two of the many organisms that interact in this complex wetland ecosystem. |
