Spring is an especially exciting time for herpetologists (people who study amphibians and reptiles). Reptiles and amphibians emerge from their winter shelters, become more active, and engage in breeding activity as temperatures continue to warm up after months of cold weather.
In urban areas, our backyards, parks and even small green spaces are critical stopover habitats where birds can find food, water and shelter. Here are some easy ways to protect and help birds in your own backyard and beyond.
In January 2025, the DWR teamed up with researchers from Brigham Young University to trap hundreds of pronghorn at Parker Mountain and translocate them to management units all over Utah.
Known for their hard fight and tasty white flesh, Bonneville whitefish offer a remarkable winter angling experience that's worth the cold. Here's everything you need to know to make the most of this exciting season at Bear Lake.
Many people are concerned about CWD impacts on Utah's wildlife, if and how it can be transmitted to humans, and want to know more about what the DWR is doing to control CWD.
Whether you have never hunted at all, or are an experienced rifle hunter looking for earlier season hunting opportunities, learning the unique skill set of muzzleloader hunting can be a fun and rewarding challenge.
What is a species? It seems like a straightforward question, right? Unfortunately, defining what makes a group of animals a distinct species is actually far more complicated than it would appear on the outside. Sometimes, new information requires us to reconsider what we know about species.
As our cities and suburbs expand into previously undeveloped areas, our structures, roads and other barriers — including fences — can act as an unintentional but often fatal restriction for many wildlife species.
Since finding a hidden population of native Bonneville cutthroat trout, the DWR and conservation partners have implemented stream, wetland, and riparian habitat restoration and enhancements in Niotche Creek.
