Swamp

A swamp is an icky place filled with muck, mud, water and vegetation. It is a perfect habitat for alligators, insects and whatever freakish swamp monster might come crawling up out of the woodwork... like Swamp Thing!. If you wanna get a good idea of what swamp life is like, take a ride down to good ole Houma in Louisiana. You can also find some sweat-have swamplands just outside of New Orleans over in "Cajun Country".

On the Canadian television series Bitten the character of Clayton Danvers grew up in the swamps of Louisiana after his werewolf father abandoned him when he was only seven-years-old.
