What else can I help you with?
What most freshwater hydrozoa exist only as what?
Most freshwater hydrozoa exist only as the polyp form. They never switch to the medusa form, or sexual form. This means they exist only in the asexual form.
Does temperate oceans mean both freshwater and saltwater?
There are no freshwater oceans. Only where large rivers empty into the sea, there are some areas of lower salinity, but no freshwater oceans.
Why are wetlands wet?
Wetlands are wet because they exist only near the ocean and usually flood and drain during high and low tide. Wetlands coexist with the ocean to make a fragile and abundant ecosystem, and subsequently are wet most of the time.
What organisms would compete with a platypus for food?
No other organisms compete with the platypus for food. Its feeding habits and its habitat are unique. No other mammal feeds on the variety of freshwater crustaceans and other invertebrates for which the platypus forages. In wetland areas, only freshwater wading birds have a similar diet, but the platypus prefers clear rivers, lakes and creeks rather than wetlands for its habitat.
How many swamps are in America?
By "in America", that would mean Canada, United States, and South America. If you mean only in the US, there are vast areas of swamps in the south-eastern States. But as well, wetlands exist in many States across the US. They would be too numerous to count.
What is the only continent that does not have wetlands?

Are platypuses freshwater?
Yes. Platypuses can only live in freshwater ecosystems.
What threatens the freshwater in antarctica?
Melting is the only threat to the freshwater ice sheet.
What is the amount of all of the water on the planet only a small amount constitutes fresh surface water?
About 97% of the Earth's water is saltwater found in oceans, while only about 3% is freshwater. Of this freshwater, approximately 68% is trapped in glaciers and ice caps, leaving only a small fraction—around 1%—as accessible surface water in lakes, rivers, and wetlands. Consequently, the majority of the planet's water is not suitable for direct human consumption or agricultural use.
Which is the only freshwater fish?
The question needs to be refined, as there are hundreds of freshwater fish species.
Why are some fish saltwater fish and others freshwater fish?
Because saltwater fish can only breathe in saltwater (as in the ocean) and freshwater fish can only breathe in freshwater (as in tap water.)
