The only species I know of for sure that has gone extinct here in Canada (besides dinosours ofcourse) is the timber rattlesnake. The climate in most of Canada isn't too too harsh but we can have so nasty winters. We have a fair number of colubrid species and a couple species of lizards but nothing huge. In terms of biodiversity we're pretty low on the list. We have quite a varierty of birds and birds of prey. There are quite a few mamalian species here (bears, wolves, mountain goats, moose, deer, otters, seals, foxes, cougars, lynx, big horny or big horn rather sheep) just to name a few. Most of the snakes where I live are endangered however. Our endangered snakes are the common racer, the pacific gopher snake, the rubber boa, and the northern pacific rattlesnake. That's just in the area where I live. People here a very ignorant when it comes to reptiles and really to most animals. Most people here would just assume kill a snake here, so the need for public awareness is every great.
