MAPARI HERPS LIST
Scientific Herpetofauna research in the Kanuku Mountains is still relatively limited; much work remains to be done to catalog species. Anecdotally, however, and from our observation and limited work with researchers, we know that Mapari is teeming with amphibians and reptiles. Rainy season (June-September) is a great time to find frogs, amphibians, and snakes, spotlighting along the creek and night walks on forest trails. Come join us and look for more!
