The list of <br />species can be found in Chapter 10 of the DOW's regulations. <br />Listed Endangered Species: <br />Fish: Colorado squawfish; Humpback chub; Bonytail chub; Razorback <br />sucker; Rio Grande sucker. <br />Birds: Plains sharp - tailed grouse; Whooping crane; Least tern. <br />Mammals: Gray wolf; Grizzly bear; Black- footed ferret; Wolverine; River <br />otter; Lynx. <br />Amphibian: Western toad. <br />Listed Threatened Species: <br />Fish: Greenback Cutthroat trout; Arkansas darter. <br />Amphibians: Wood frog. <br />Birds: American Peregrine falcon; Bald eagle; Greater Sandhill crane; <br />Greater Prairie chicken; Mexican Spotted owl; Lesser Prairie chicken; <br />Arctic Peregrine falcon; Piping plover. <br />
