Woodrats

[Runt]

The list of species monitored within the South Dakota Natural Heritage Program is long and varied. Some species are tracked because they are listed as state or federal threatened or endangered species. Other monitored species are rare in South Dakota but common elsewhere. Still others are monitored because little is known about where they live, how common they are, or perhaps whether they even occur in South Dakota. Such is the case with the eastern woodrat (Neotoma floridana).
