Animal environments are classified as either aquatic (water),
terrestrial (land), or
amphibious (water and land). Aquatic animals require a watery
habitat, but do not necessarily have to live entirely in water. This term can be applied to
aquatic or sea mammals such as those in the order
Cetacea (
whales), which cannot survive on land, as well as four-footed
mammals like the river
otter (
Lutra canadensis) and beavers (family
Castoridae). It also includes aquatic
birds that either swim, wade or dive on the water itselfgfsdgdlnbvknafilarghifahdoguhfdiuhgfvbeiruhgudhsfh4ey59583y5907342098570923875987389750982790857092759028759873298759837295872390759873490879r8re90fidufgirhfgdighfhhfdogihfdohgoiheothowytioeiuyoiuewopiuyoiuewoiureiuteiowuteopiwutoiuwreoptuopireutourewtureoiwtuopirutopieutpoewuoituewoutpourwpeoutpoerwutoeurwotiueroiutreowiutproewutopiwuetoiuerwopituwepouteoiwutoiuewotiurewopewproiutoireuwtiuweoritueowriutoirutiourwiotoirewtoiuweotiuproieutorwetpoerwpoutoruoturwepiutireutoiureptoiuopwerutopif and live outside the water.
