Threatened Species

Eastern ratsnake (Elaphe obsoleta)

The eastern rat snake is Canada’s largest snake, growing to lengths of 100 to 256 cm. Factors affecting its population in the 1000 Islands are human persecution and road mortality. The snake is harmless despite its large appearance.

Deerberry (Vaccineum stamineum)

Although this is a widespread species in the United States, it reaches its northern limit of growth in the Niagara Falls and 1000 Islands area. There are only 5 growth stations in Canada– 2 very small ones in Niagara and 3 more extensive populations in the 1000 Islands. In Ontario its preferred habitat is dry, open, rocky woods with a history of fire. It is not usually in open sites or in areas of deep shade.

This is a threatened species because of its proximity to existing trails, a lack of new seedlings, and encroachment by other vegetation. Thus it could decline if it is not actively managed.

Stinkpot Turtle (Musk Turtle, Sternotherus odoratus)

This is a small aquatic freshwater turtle that lives underwater most of the time. It exudes a musky odour and has a surly disposition- hence its name. For habitat, it prefers a shallow body of water with a soft bottom and little or no current.

This species is given 'threatened' status. It is threatened mainly by habitat destruction, primarily through wetland drainage and shoreline development. Because stinkspot turtles are very secretive, it is difficult to detect population trends.

Special Concern

Bridle Shiner (Notropis bifrenatus)

This minnow grows up to 6 cm in length. It lives only two years and spawns only once, in either its first or second year. Its habitat is in quiet streams and it cannot tolerate acidic waters. It prefers clear water and its populations may benefit from the clarifying effect of zebra mussels.

Threats are the filling in of wetlands and removal of aquatic vegetation. There is no specific protection for this species, other than the protection of its habitat
