Have you been out in the field … or even in your own backyard … and photographed some reptiles and/or amphibians? Do you want to share some of the species you have found with others? We’d love to share your finds with our readers!
We had so much fun in the field last April filming these guys and we hope you have fun watching some of the footage highlights of this amazing snake! You can learn more about the Eastern Garter Snake (Thamnophis sirtalis sirtalis) by visiting our StickyPedia Multimedia Guide. Here you will find facts and a photo gallery that we will keep adding to as we come across more of these snakes during upcoming field expeditions!
Yes, we sat there like perverts watching, filming and photographing these two American toads (Bufo americanus) making mini toads. There’s no privacy when The Herparazzi are around! Photographed in Southern Ontario, Canada.
Burnup’s Hunter Slug, Chlamydephorus burnupi, is listed as ‘Vulnerable’ on the IUCN Red List of Threatened SpeciesTM. This species of slug is endemic to South Africa where it lives in the leaf-litter of mist-belt and montane Podocarpus forests, and is largely confined to the midlands and Drakensberg foothills in KwaZulu-Natal.
The chirpy buzz of the golden-winged warbler’s song might not sound like a dirge, but it very nearly is one. The population of this little, gray songbird with bright yellow patches on its wings and head has been in precipitous decline since 1966. And, as of yet, it remains unprotected by the federal Endangered Species Act of 1973.
The loss of genetic diversity in small or isolated populations can increase inbreeding, decrease fitness and adaptive potential and increase a species’ probability of extinction. In species with life histories that naturally result in small populations and/or low levels of gene flow, patterns of anthropogenically induced genetic erosion can be obscured by evolutionary history; yet these species may still be susceptible to genetic loss.
