Later on, I researched on animals in the mangrove swamps and found that some animals are very adorable like the flying fox which looks like a half bat half squirrel creature, the fiddler crab which has a claw larger than the other, the wallaby which looks like a miniature fox and the mudskipper which is the only fish that can live on land for several hours and some dangerous ones like the saltwater crocodile which could gobble humans down in one gulp and the sea snake which is ten times more venomous than the king cobra.
There are some giant ones like water buffalos (they weight 21/2 tons), saltwater crocodile (they are said to be 27 feet in the wild), great egrets and the jabirus (stands 5 feet tall and has a wingspan of 8 feet long) which is the largest among their species. I find that researching on animals are so much fun than the plants as the net tells us how the animals live which consists of their habitats, the food they eat and how they contribute to the mangroves and the environment, some websites even let us listen to the sounds a particular animal makes. I also found out that some of these animals may be endangered and humans have the right to protect them from extinction.
