There are three slide shows that introduce you to the animals and plants that you can expect to find in Lilypad Pond. There are many floating plants and air-breathing animals on the pond surface. Most of the animals are very light and either live on the top or the bottom of the pond. The Pond water area stretches between the surface film and the muddy bottom.

Some animals live their entire lives at the bottom while others spend their larval stages there.
