A paludarium is a type of vivarium that is specialized for the display of flora and fauna that live on, or very near, the bank of a body of water. Being modeled on many disparate habitat types, paludaria are capable of housing a great variety of livestock that can present conflicting husbandry requirements. Thus, the paludarist should–early in the planning stage–develop a clear picture of the physical environment he or she wishes to create.
