A Survey of the Herpetofauna of the Comanche National Grasslands in Southeastern
Colorado
Appendix 7:
Photographs of selected habitat and species of amphibians and
reptiles observered during the 1995-1997 field seasons
 |
| Ecotone between shortgrass prairie and juniper woodlands, southern
section. Most prairie species drop out over a short distance as one
approaches the woodlands and enters the canyonlands. |
 |
| Rocky bluffs above Cottonwood Canyon, Baca County, southern section
of the Comanche National Grasslands. Many species, such as the Texas
blind snake, are restricted to this southernmost county of Colorado,
and most are found either along such rocky bluffs or along the riparian
habitat of the canyons. |
