The Ontario Reptile and Amphibian Atlas is the most comprehensive resource on Ontario's #reptiles and #amphibians.

It synthesizes over 10 years of data, presents key findings and sheds light on the atlas' role in advancing the field of #herpetology! ⤵️

Forever grateful to be able to work with these wonderful beauties! I always learn so much from these Blanding’s Turtles, also known as the turtle with the sun under its chin ✨🐢☀️ #HERpetologist
