Manitoba
Manitoba has 15 species of amphibians, more than any other of the
prairie provinces. All of them dwell in the extreme south of the
province. While 6 of the species occur north of Lake Winnipeg,
only the Wood Frog can be found as far north as the Northwest
Territories. Manitoba has all the species found in Saskatchewan as
well as some eastern species such as the Mudpuppy and the Green and
Mink Frogs. One species, Cope's Gray Treefrog, is found nowhere
else in Canada.
