how are the animals which normally live in water affected by floods
Answers
Answer:
Floods can have both a positive or negative impact on animals.
Floods can often spur on migration, dispersion, and can be a signal for breeding events. This can strengthen a species, it can especially help marine life to thrive.
Floods more so pose a negative threat to animals, namely land animals. In Australia kangaroos can often suffer from the effects of floods. Joeys can be washed from their mothers pouches and become stranded. This too can have the same effect for livestock and pets. Fences often can confine animals to a certain area unable to escape. Flooding also effects access to food as often grazing paddocks can be saturated in water and unable to consume.
Birds, though their habitats may remain intact and safe, lose a significant source of their nourishment. Water logged grass and land is not a feasible place to forage for insects. This means that birds have to relocate or be at risk for starvation and malnourishment.
Animals that are arguably most at risk are those that reside in burrows. There may be no possible way for the animal to escape the flood water and therefore burrows could be very easily filled with water and the animals could drown. Animals that may be affected are wide-spread including: wombats, rabbits, and echidnas.
