The word mangrove comes from a Guaraní word meaning “twisted tree”. Under water, mangrove roots look like a twisted mass of vegetation. The many roots stabilize the sand and mud. Ocean water and fresh water mix here. The mix is full of nutrients, fish and crustaceans. Plants have adapted to the lack of oxygen and easily reproduce, turning the swamp’s floor into a tangle of vegetation and that is the mangrove. The area under the water is a labyrinth and above the surface it’s an aquatic jungle. Many other leafy and woody plants thrive in addition to the mangroves. These mangroves develop in a very individual fashion. Their seeds are long and pointed and when they drop they have several options. They may float away, germinate, or grow roots to sink into the swamp floor. To birds, the mangrove swamp seems like a peaceful place to nest, especially if they eat fish. Many animals live off the mangrove’s leaves and fruit. ▶SUBSCRIBE | http://bit.ly/PlanetDoc ▶FULL DOCUMENTARIES | http://bit.ly/Full-Docs ▶NATURE DOCUMENTARIES | http://bit.ly/PlNature ▶FACEBOOK | http://bit.ly/FBPDoc ▶TWITTER | http://bit.ly/TwPDoc ▶TUMBLR | http://bit.ly/TbPlDoc
