As explained in this video (   • What's a Wetland? Why are wetland eco...  ), wetlands are transition zones between the upper lands and the deeper waters. If they're grassy, they're marshes. If trees dominate, they're called swamps. And then there are bogs, which are self-contained, not part of a river, bay or bigger body of water. If you want to know more, I highly recommend clicking on that video link. This song was written by John Stark and Lucas Miller added additional lyrics. The song was produced by CJ, Jerry Fuentes and Lucas Miller and is available on GooglePlay, Spotify, iTunes and pretty much anywhere you can download music. It's also on the CDs "The Anaconda La Bamba" and "I Love Earth" which you should definitely order at www.lucasmiller.net. I, Lucas Miller, did most of the filming myself except for the plankton photos (used courtesy of creative commons) seen in the "clam filter-feeding" animation. That clam illustration is from a very old book to which copyright no longer applies. This was filmed primarily between October 2016 and March of 2017 at Texas state parks, city parks and national wildlife refuges in Texas and Louisiana (that footage was was filmed in the summer of 2014 on a Swamp Tour near New Orleans). Lyrics: What a gas! Better look fast Betcha never heard a rap from a blade of grass I am a reed; Reid is my name And you're gonna be digging me next time we get a lot of rain Me and my cousins gonna soak up a lot of water Keeping things balanced; like living on a teeter-totter Our roots go down in the spongy mud Like a game of Red Rover, we’re holding back a mighty flood Come on out and visit; canoe through And you'll see us standing tall waving at you We're livin' in a wetland, wetland, wetland Right there where the water meets the dry, dry land We're livin' in a wetland, wetland, wetland Talkin' 'bout all the herons, alligators and clams Hold it man I am a clam My name is Sam; Sam the clam I am I slurp the water in through my snorkel-like snout I filter out the floaties then I squirt the water out I'm eating plankton those little plants and critters Floating in the water; teeny tiny like glitter Poisons in the water hurts the humans and the otters So I have a heart and do my part just like I know I oughta I store pollution down in my insides Cleaning up the water through the low- and the high-tides Chorus 'scuse me a minute 'cos I gotta get bossy My name is Maurice-captain of the river posse 20-foot long, king of the alligators Spend my days whoopin’ up on contaminators Me and my posse we can't take all the toxins Gasoline, sewage, phosphate, dioxin Join our posse, be an ambassador We don’t want to go extinct like the dinosaur 'cos there are fish, amphibians, and reptiles Bug and birds by the billion gonna chill awhile Watersnake on the hunt for a bullfrog Whooping crane whoopin' it up in the mornin' fog Willow is a snack for the beaver with the flat tail Muskrat likes to hang by the cattails This is a habitat for so many species It's like a puzzle-the picture's incomplete unless you save all of the pieces!
