www.werc.usgs.gov — The Alameda whipsnake (Masticophis lateralis euryxanthus) is both a federally and state listed endangered species limited to scrub and chaparral habitat within Contra Costa and Alameda Counties, CA. Loss and fragmentation of habitat due to agricultural and urban development over the last 100 years are cited as the main causes of its decline. Based More...
