Newfoundland
Newfoundland has only 8 species of amphibians, 2 of which are not
native to the province (the Western Chorus Frog and the Green
Frog). The 6 remaining species are native only to Labrador. There
are no native species found on the island, but the American Toad,
the Western Chorus Frog, the Green Frog, the Northern Leopard Frog
and the Wood Frog have been introduced and have spread.
Newfoundland has fewer native species of amphibians than any other
province. All of the species found in Newfoundland are also found
in Ontario, Québec and parts of the Maritimes.
