Threatened Bonner County Amphibians and Reptiles

Countdown: 3 DAYS TO GO until the CNCBC! Have you downloaded the app and created an account? Have you been practicing? Do you think you can find Sassy and win a CNCBC 2021 Trophy? Will you help Bonner County win the inaugural Northern Rocky Mountain Challenge Trophy? You just need to make ONE observation to help Bonner County compete to see which challenge gets the most people out per capita.

Here is a list of the most endangered Amphibians/Reptiles in Bonner County. You probably won’t see any of these, but that’s important to know, too: not only which species are present, but which ones we are in danger of losing from the ecosystem.
