Hide and Seek with Amphibians and Reptiles in Southwestern Manitoba

Southwestern Manitoba is home to sixteen species of amphibians and reptiles, and several of these species have localized distributions. In addition, many of these same species are secretive and little is known about their natural history. Over the past 7 years, Pamela and her students have been studying several of these species, including the Northern Prairie Skink and the Western Hognose Snake, and have learned a lot about their natural history. They have also learned how much we don’t know. In this talk, Pamela will share both insights and further questions that have been raised by their research into these fascinating animals.
