endangered plants species in the snowy mountains
Like other small mammals in the alpine region, the pygmy possum survives the winter under a protective layer of snow. Among the more colourful species of the area are the endangered yellow and black corroboree frog, the red chested flame robin and the wingless grasshopper.Groups of enthusiasts introduced brown and rainbow trout to the fast flowing streams of the Snowy Mountains in the late 19th century.ost plants are long lived perennials and these are able to winter-over under the snow. The most obvious plants during winter are the native Snow Gums. Their low, broad branches are able to bend under the weight of winter snow.
