The species arose in the Ganges region in eastern India, and commonly inhabits streams, canals, ditches, ponds, and slow-moving or stagnant water bodies, including rice fields.

One species, the northern fur seal ( Callorhinus ursinus ) inhabits the North Pacific, while seven species in the Arctocephalus genus are found primarily in the Southern Hemisphere.

The Markhor is an endangered species of wild goat which inhabits the mountains of Central Asia and Pakistan.

One species, Thalassema mellita, which lives off the southeastern coast of the US, inhabits the tests ( exoskeleton ) of dead sand dollars.

The species is omnivorous and inhabits primary and secondary forests, including seasonally inundated swamp forests.

The desert gopher tortoise, a threatened species, inhabits the desert scrublands in the western end of the park.

One species, the swampfish Chologaster cornuta, inhabits above-ground swamps, rather than caves.

The Dugong is an endangered marine species that inhabits the waters of north-eastern and north-western Australia, particularly the Torres Strait.

The Piping Plover is a near threatened species which inhabits the wetlands.

Species include the Javanese cownose ray, Rhinoptera javanica, in the Indian Ocean and the western Pacific, the Australian cownose ray, Rhinoptera neglecta, around the Australian coasts and a species which inhabits the Chesapeake Bay, Rhinoptera bonasus.

The 34 species and subspecies number of Baikal sculpins is more than twice the number of the analogous fauna that inhabits Eurasia.

Many endangered species call Sag Harbor home such as the eastern tiger salamander which inhabits wetlands surrounding the village.

The goa ( Procapra picticaudata ), also known as the Tibetan gazelle, is a species of antelope that inhabits the Tibetan plateau.

Due to a human population explosion in the areas it inhabits, this species has also proportionately multiplied.

The blue shark ( Prionace glauca ) is a species of requiem shark, family Carcharhinidae, that inhabits deep waters in the world's temperate and tropical oceans.

This species inhabits the whole east coast of Madagascar.

This species inhabits the highlands of central Madagascar in the Ankaratra Mountains.

This species only inhabits northern part of Réunion.

This species inhabits the island Mauritius where it is widely distributed.

This species inhabits the west coast of Madagascar in the general area of Majunga.

This species inhabits southeast Madagascar.

This species inhabits the western side of Mauritius.

This species inhabits the upland forest of Mauritius.

This species inhabits north-east Madagascar, along the coast.

In many species, this is further elaborated by a system of radial canals, with or without an additional ring canal towards the edge of the dome.

Freshwater mussel species inhabit lakes, ponds, rivers, creeks, canals, grouped in a different subclass, despite some very superficial similarities in appearance.

Among species of mammals, the size of the semicircular canals is correlated with their type of locomotion.

Specifically, species that are agile and have fast, jerky locomotion have larger canals relative to their body size than those that move more cautiously.

In some species, however, there are alternately long and short lateral canals, giving the appearance of two rows on each side of the groove, for four in total.

The canals were filled with aquatic birds such as herons and a local species called chichicuilotes.

Infestations result in dramatic disruption in water flow in rivers and canals, and a sharp decline in biological diversity as native food and cover plant species, notably cattails, are completely crowded out, and the life cycles of organisms from waterfowl to amphibians to algae are affected.

Aequorea species can be fairly difficult to tell apart, as the morphological features on which identifications are made are mostly the numbers of tentacles, numbers of radial canals, numbers of marginal statocysts, and size.

These features are fairly plastic, and the numbers of tentacles and radial canals increase in all species of Aequorea with size.

In two other species of owls with asymmetrical ears, the saw-whet Owl and the long-eared owl, the asymmetry is achieved by different means: in saw whets, the skull is asymmetrical ; in the long-eared owl, the skin structures lying near the ear form asymmetrical entrances to the ear canals, which is achieved by a horizontal membrane.

Felis chaus is not a timid species ; they are known for moving into abandoned buildings and living as happily by irrigation canals as by wild rivers, provided that adequate prey and shrubbery for cover are available.

Three species ( M. aquaticum, M. heterophyllum and M. spicatum ) have aggressively invaded lakes, natural waterways and irrigation canals in North America.

It differs most conspicuously from the two other bristlecone pine species in that the needles usually have only one, ( only rarely two ) resin canals, and these are commonly interrupted and broken, leading to highly characteristic small white resin flecks appearing on the needles.

The canals, built more than 100 years ago for transport and draining the moorlands, now form part of a faunal habitat with many species and are now used for leisure and recreation.

It is a modern city with wide streets and well drawn avenues with wide sidewalks and vegetation of different species of trees irrigated by canals, from which it derives its nickname oasis town.

American crocodiles ( Crocodylus acutus ) have a similar habitat in the cooling canals of the Turkey Point power plant, where an estimated 10 % of the total North American population of the species lives.

The species is resident in freshwater marshes ( including canals and drainage ditches ), especiaally those with cattails.
