The soil that can be found at the mouth of a river, or perhaps a creek (or any other water source, as a matter of fact), is extremely fertile. Fertile, yes, but also extremely wet. It is in fact absolutely impossible for plants to grow at the mouth of a water source, because the ground is too wet. Impossible, except for one complicated answer : the water frog. This specific type of amphibian can only be found in Brazil or in Peru (or rarely found in Equator and Venezuela). Its only purpose in life, other than reproducing, in sitting directly on a source of water and absorbing the chemical found in the water that disables plants to grow in water : asterion. The water frog absorbs asterion and then makes it leak out of its pores as a new chemical, called desasterion. This liquid does not make plants not grow in water, in fact, it enables them to grow.
