Description
A limpkin searches through the shallows along the Hillsborough River for apple snails and freshwater mussels in Tampa, Florida's John Sargent Park.
You will find limpkins (aramus guarauna) in warm freshwater marshes and swamps, often with tall reeds, as well as mangroves, in warm part of the Americas fromFlorida in the United States, southern Mexico, the Caribbean. Central American, northwestern Soutn America and South America east of the Andes mountains south to northern Argentina. In the Caribbean it also inhabits dry brushland. Essentially you will find limpkins where you find apple snails.
Apple snails make up usually more than seventy percent of a limpkins diet.they also ear other mollusks, insects, frogs, lizards, crustaceans and worms. Locate apple snails by finding their pink eggs on cypress knees or plant stalks above the water, or finding the emply shells left by limpkins and you know that limpkins will be near.
