Many are entirely aquatic; others partially; and all these are found in ponds, rivers, streams, swamps, and ditches. Others may be wholly or partially terrestrial, and are found in forests and fields, burrowing in the ground, and living in trees. Regardless of the habitat, all must have moisture in which to hatch their eggs and to develop the larval or tadpole stage.
Species of water beetles are found wherever there are streams and ponds which abound in plant life. Many are familiar to children, who find them in their natural habitats. Those discussed here are the ones that occur most commonly throughout the country. How¬ever, they are seldom thought of as interesting creatures in captivity.
On The Other Hand See Prairie Ponds With Shallow:It is the young of this turtle that are most often found in pet shops, carnivals, fairs, and so on.
Habitat: Most commonly in lakes and river coves with low, swampy shores and some aquatic plant growth; also in large bodies of water—lakes, quiet coves; and in small, open prairie ponds with shallow water
Reproduction: Oviparous; 5-22 eggs deposited April-June
RED RIVER, river, United States, the n,™ southerly of the main tributaries of the Missis¬sippi. It gains its name from the color of the soil it filches from the rich prairie lands through which it flows. It is not exclusively a prairie stream, however, for its terrain is both varied and extensive. In the highlands, where it has its source, it has eroded a canyon 60 miles long flanked by steep cliffs ranging from 300. to 800 feet in height; while through the wooded bottom lands of its lower course its sluggish channel often looses itself in a maze of swampy islands and shallow waterways choked with floating debris.
