i’m writing a story for some of my characters, and right now they’re in a bog. the problem is, i don’t know anything about bogs, and all the sites i’ve been using to research use very scientific words i don’t understand. can anyone in the field help me?

do trees grow in just a regular bog? if so, what trees? where would a bog need to be for crocodiles to be a threat? what type of land grows around bogs? what animals live in bogs? literally anything you can tell me is extremely appreciated, i’m very lost. any sites you can direct me to would be great.
