Many animals in swamps employ camouflage to protect themselves and hunt their prey. Frogs for example will often submerge themselves in aquatic plants and leave only their eyes poking out above the water to watch for food.
Large predators take advantage of these tactics as well. Alligators will dig through the clay or limestone beneath a body of water and then lie and wait in these traps for animals to come near or investigate.
Webbed feet are one common solution, as is a waterproof coat, which mammals such as beavers use to keep themselves warm.
