Wyoming Herpetology Society to host first-ever symposium
Lizards, toads and snakes — oh my! While some may want to turn and run the other way when seeing such creatures, others move in for a closer look. Herpetology is the study of amphibians and reptiles, and those individuals with a strong fondness and curiosity for these animals are herpetophiles. Herpetophiles will gather this Saturday for the first-ever Wyoming Herpetological Symposium at the University of Wyoming. The free event will take place in the UW Berry Biodiversity Conservation Center auditorium from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Registration has closed, although walk-ins are welcome. Mason Lee, senior project coordinator for the UW Biodiversity Institute, an avid herpetophile herself, is excited to help coordinate this first symposium. “We’re very excited to bring together herpetological enthusiasts and researchers in Wyoming and the region to celebrate the awesome research and field adventures that everybody has been up to,” Lee said. Lee will step to the podium herself to talk about the western tiger salamander population in Laramie’s LaBonte Park. Volunteers gather every spring to assist in the annual salamander migration as the animals cross busy streets to return to the pond for the summer. That is only part of the story, though. In
