Lakes are home to countless types of species of fish, and mammals like otters, beavers. There are also many animals that come to the shore to feed on the underwater organisms, but don't live underwater themselves, like bears, herons, and ducks.

Lakes are formed by remnants of glaciers, streams that have been blocked, or when rivers fill empty basins.
This is a video on how the Great Lakes were formed by the melting of glaciers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibTWQogsbL8

Lakes are usually near places that cause the formation of lakes, like mountains and in higher latitudes. They are also in areas that usually get high amounts of rainfall. There isn't a specific state or country lakes are in because they are spread all around the world.

The two main types of plants are those that live by the shore and the ones in the water. Plants like cattails and picker weed need lots of the water and oxygen so they live right on the edges of lakes. Algae and different mosses and ferns live under the water and are food for many herbivores in the lake.

The water is not moving like rivers and oceans, and is relatively still. Some lakes are big enough to have rivers coming from them. Most of the lakes of the world are freshwater, but a few, like the Great Salt Lake in Utah, are saltwater lakes.
