Abstract

<p>A survey of amphibians and reptiles inhabiting the Uekusa Gakuen University campus was conducted. Four species of amphibian were identified, including three designated as protected species on the Chiba Prefecture Red List. Currently, 10 species of amphibians are said to inhabit Chiba City, although some have isolated habitats in specific places, and others are considered to be extinct, so excluding the Indian Rice Frog, all the species that could potentially inhabit this area were included. Nine species of reptiles were identified, all of which are listed as protected species on the Red List. Thirteen species of reptiles were identified in Chiba City, and of these, none of the three turtle species could be identified on campus. On the other hand, all three species of lizards and six of the seven species of snakes were identified. When amphibians and reptiles are used as environmental indicators, the species confirmed within Uekusa Gakuen University cover almost all the species that can be seen in this area, suggesting that it is a good freshwater environment.</p>
