The creatures that live in brackish waters have evolved several advantages in order to survive in this unusually harsh environment. Here’s a look at some of these incredible animals.

Not all brackish water-inhabiting animals are fish! The American Alligator is one of the largest residents, growing up to 20 feet long and weighing in at a maximum of 1,000 pounds.
