[Note: It will take some time to prepare all of the material appearing in the July 1992 article. Ted and Cully have produced a commercial videotape that provides a review of all North Dakota reptiles. Information on this resource appears at the end of this presentation. For a complete survey of North Dakota reptiles, you might locate the original North Dakota Outdoors article or contact Ted or Cully about their videotape.]
Most of us are capable of identifying the generic toad or snake, but beyond that, how many of us know much more about what the various reptiles and amphibians are called, where they live, or what they eat?
This guide is not technical and is meant to be useful to anyone wanting to learn more about these secretive animals. It should be of particular interest to school students and to those who live in the country, where encounters with reptiles and amphibians are more likely to occur with greater frequency.
As you will learn, like various species of birds, reptiles and amphibians within the same species sometimes come in different colors. We have attempted to choose pictures that best represent each species treated. Range maps have also been provided showing where each species has been reported and also areas where they are likely to be found.
Seek! Learn! Enjoy!
