Question

How many species of mangroves are there in the world?

Answer 1

A mangrove is a shrub or small tree that grows in coastal saline or brackish water.

There are about 110 species considered to be "mangroves", due to the fact that they area trees that grows in such a saline swamp.

Of the recognized 110 mangrove species, only about 54 species in 20 genera from 16 families constitute the "true mangroves", species that occur almost exclusively in mangrove habitat.

Answer 2

The Mangrove forests of Suriname have a tallness of 20– 25 m and are discovered chiefly in the seaside territory. There are six kinds of mangroves, in particular, two sorts of parwa or black mangroves, three kinds of red mangroves (mangro) and a little mangrove animal categories (white mangrove, akira or tjila).

Monitor reptiles, visit mangroves to feast upon insects, fish, crabs and winged animals. The Estuarine Crocodile (Crocodylus porosus) is likewise found in mangrove forests in the north. Hardly any well-evolved creatures live for all time in the mangroves.
