New Brunswick

New Brunswick has 16 species of amphibians. This is more species than any other province east of Québec. Because New Brunswick does not extend very far north, most species can be found across the province, given the appropriate habitat. There are 4 exceptions to this. The Northern Dusky and Four-Toed Salamanders, Gray Treefrog and Bullfrog are all only found in the southern portion of the province. All of the species found in New Brunswick are also found in Ontario and Québec.
