At the end of a river is its mouth, where the water empties into a larger river, a lake, or an ocean.

Many crickets live by lakes. At night they chirp. Frogs also live by lakes. Some people try to catch frogs. A lot of snakes live in lakes. They eat minnows. Frogs live by ponds. Frogs don't drink, they just sit in the water and the water soaks in them. Poison ivy is a plant that lives by ponds, too. Cattails are wild plants that grow in swamps and marshes and other wet lands throughout the United States. The larger cattails can grow to about 10 feet (3 meters).
